Find out the min value, max value and size of Short types

Short class defines the following constants to hold the maximum value, minimum value and size.

static short MAX_VALUE

A constant holding the maximum value a short can have, 2¹⁵-1.

static short MIN_VALUE

A constant holding the minimum value a short can have, -2¹⁵.

static int SIZE

The number of bits used to represent a short value in two's complement binary form.

static Class TYPE

The Class instance representing the primitive type short.

public class Main {

  public static void main(String args[]) {
    System.out.println("Max value from Short class:"+Short.MAX_VALUE);
    System.out.println("Min value from Short class:"+Short.MIN_VALUE);
  }
}

The output:

Max value from Short class:32767
Min value from Short class:-32768

To get the size of a short value, just call its static constant SIZE as the follows:

public class Main {

  public static void main(String args[]) {
    System.out.println("Size of a Short:"+Short.SIZE);
  }
}

The code above outputs:

Size of a Short:16

1. Short class
