C# Int16 Parse(String)

Description

Int16 Parse(String) converts the string representation of a number to its 16-bit signed integer equivalent.

Syntax

Int16.Parse(String) has the following syntax.


public static short Parse(
  string s
)

Parameters

Int16.Parse(String) has the following parameters.

s - A string containing a number to convert.

Returns

Int16.Parse(String) method returns A 16-bit signed integer equivalent to the number contained in s.

Example

The following example demonstrates how to convert a string value into a 16-bit signed integer value using the Int16.Parse(String) method.


//from  ww w.j  a va  2s  .co m
using System;
public class MainClass{
  public static void Main(String[] argv){  
    string value;
    short number;
    
    value = " 12345 ";
    try
    {
       number = Int16.Parse(value);
       Console.WriteLine("Converted '{0}' to {1}.", value, number);
    }
    catch (FormatException)
    {
       Console.WriteLine("Unable to convert '{0}' to a 16-bit signed integer.", 
                         value);
    }
    
    value = " 12,345";
    try
    {
       number = Int16.Parse(value);
       Console.WriteLine("Converted '{0}' to {1}.", value, number);
    }
    catch (FormatException)
    {
       Console.WriteLine("Unable to convert '{0}' to a 16-bit signed integer.", 
                         value);
    }
    
    value = " -12345";
    try
    {
       number = Int16.Parse(value);
       Console.WriteLine("Converted '{0}' to {1}.", value, number);
    }
    catch (FormatException)
    {
       Console.WriteLine("Unable to convert '{0}' to a 16-bit signed integer.", 
                         value);
    }

  }
}

The code above generates the following result.
