short Datatype in Java
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 read the algorithm, then study the program code line by line. After that, compare the code with the output and finally go through the explanation. This approach helps learners understand both the logic and the implementation properly.
After understanding this example, try to rewrite the same program without looking at the code. Then change some values or logic and run it again. This helps improve confidence and keeps learners engaged on the page for longer.
