```
public Short(short value)
```
    Create a Short object representing the value of the short argument.
    
    Parameters:
    
    value - the value to use
  - Short
```
public Short(String s)
```
    Create a Short object representing the value of the argument after conversion to a short.
    
    Parameters:
    
    s - the string to convert
    
    Throws:
    
    NumberFormatException - if the String cannot be parsed
- Method Detail
  - toString
```
public static String toString(short s)
```
    Converts the short to a String and assumes a radix of 10.
    
    Parameters:
    
    s - the short to convert to String
    
    Returns:
    
    the String representation of the argument
  - parseShort
```
public static short parseShort(String s)
```
    Converts the specified String into a short. This function assumes a radix of 10.
    
    Parameters:
    
    s - the String to convert
    
    Returns:
    
    the short value of s
    
    Throws:
    
    NumberFormatException - if s cannot be parsed as a short
  - parseShort
```
public static short parseShort(String s,
                               int radix)
```
    Converts the specified String into a short using the specified radix (base). The string must not be null or empty. It may begin with an optional '-', which will negate the answer, provided that there are also valid digits. Each digit is parsed as if by Character.digit(d, radix), and must be in the range 0 to radix - 1. Finally, the result must be within MIN_VALUE to MAX_VALUE, inclusive. Unlike Double.parseDouble, you may not have a leading '+'.
    
    Parameters:
    
    s - the String to convert
    
    radix - the radix (base) to use in the conversion
    
    Returns:
    
    the String argument converted to short
    
    Throws:
    
    NumberFormatException - if s cannot be parsed as a short
  - valueOf
```
public static Short valueOf(String s,
                            int radix)
```
    Creates a new Short object using the String and specified radix (base).
    
    Parameters:
    
    s - the String to convert
    
    radix - the radix (base) to convert with
    
    Returns:
    
    the new Short
    
    Throws:
    
    NumberFormatException - if s cannot be parsed as a short
    
    See Also:
    
    parseShort(String, int)
  - valueOf
```
public static Short valueOf(String s)
```
    Creates a new Short object using the String, assuming a radix of 10.
    
    Parameters:
    
    s - the String to convert
    
    Returns:
    
    the new Short
    
    Throws:
    
    NumberFormatException - if s cannot be parsed as a short
    
    See Also:
    
    Short(String), parseShort(String)
  - decode
```
public static Short decode(String s)
```
    Convert the specified String into a Short. The String may represent decimal, hexadecimal, or octal numbers.
    The extended BNF grammar is as follows:
```
 DecodableString:
      ( [ - ] DecimalNumber )
    | ( [ - ] ( 0x | 0X
              | # ) HexDigit { HexDigit } )
    | ( [ - ] 0 { OctalDigit } )
 DecimalNumber:
        DecimalDigit except '0' { DecimalDigit }
 DecimalDigit:
        Character.digit(d, 10) has value 0 to 9
 OctalDigit:
        Character.digit(d, 8) has value 0 to 7
 DecimalDigit:
        Character.digit(d, 16) has value 0 to 15
 
```
    Finally, the value must be in the range MIN_VALUE to MAX_VALUE, or an exception is thrown.
    Parameters:
    
    s - the String to interpret
    
    Returns:
    
    the value of the String as a Short
    
    Throws:
    
    NumberFormatException - if s cannot be parsed as a short
    
    NullPointerException - if s is null
