Short longValue() method in Java with Example

Last Updated : 05 Dec, 2018

The java.lang.Short.longValue() method of Short class is a built in method in Java which is used to return the value of the Short object as a long.

Syntax

ShortObject.longValue()

Return Value: It return the value of ShortObject as long.

Below is the implementation of longValue() method in Java:

Example 1:

// Java code to demonstrate 
// Short longValue() method 
  
class GFG { 
    public static void main(String[] args) 
    { 
  
        // Short value 
        Short a = 17; 
  
        // wrapping the Short value 
        // in the wrapper class Short 
        Short b = new Short(a); 
  
        // longValue of the Short Object 
        long output = b.longValue(); 
  
        // printing the output 
        System.out.println("Long value of "
                           + b + " is : " + output); 
    } 
} 

Output:

Long value of 17 is : 17

Example 2:

// Java code to demonstrate 
// Short longValue() method 
  
class GFG { 
    public static void main(String[] args) 
    { 
  
        String value = "17"; 
  
        // wrapping the Short value 
        // in the wrapper class Short 
        Short b = new Short(value); 
  
        // longValue of the Short Object 
        long output = b.longValue(); 
  
        // printing the output 
        System.out.println("Long value of "
                           + b + " is : " + output); 
    } 
}
