Short data type is a 16-bit signed two's complement integer
Minimum value is -32,768 (-2^15)
Maximum value is 32,767 (inclusive) (2^15 -1)
Short data type can also be used to save memory as byte data type. A short is 2 times smaller than an integer
Default value is 0.
Example: short s = 10000, short r = -20000
public class ShortDataType {
public static void main(String []args) {
// this is declaration and initialization of variable a
// datatype is short
short a = 100;
// this is declaration and initialization of variable b
// datatype is short
short b = -50;
System.out.println(a); // it will print a variable
System.out.println(b); // it will print b variable
}
}
100
-50

First understand the algorithm carefully. Then study the program line-by-line and compare it with the output. Finally, review the explanation section to strengthen your logic and programming understanding.
Rewrite the program without looking at the code. Modify values, conditions or logic and run it again. This helps improve confidence and strengthens coding skills much faster.
