Fields
MaxValue
Represents the largest possible value of an Int16. This field is constant.
Declaration
public const short MaxValue = 32767
Field Value
Type | Description |
---|---|
short |
Remarks
The value of this constant is 32767; that is, hexadecimal 0x7FFF.
MinValue
Represents the smallest possible value of Int16. This field is constant.
Declaration
public const short MinValue = -32768
Field Value
Type | Description |
---|---|
short |
Remarks
The value of this constant is -32768; that is, hexadecimal 0x8000.
Methods
Parse(string)
Converts the string representation of a number to its 16-bit signed integer equivalent.
Declaration
public static short Parse(string s)
Parameters
Type | Name | Description |
---|---|---|
string | s | A string containing a number to convert. |
Returns
Type | Description |
---|---|
short | A 16-bit signed integer equivalent to the number contained in s. |
Exceptions
Type | Condition |
---|---|
ArgumentNullException |
|
ToString()
Converts the numeric value of this instance to its equivalent string representation.
Declaration
public override string ToString()
Returns
Type | Description |
---|---|
string | The string representation of the value of this instance, consisting of a minus sign if the value is negative, and a sequence of digits ranging from 0 to 9 with no leading zeroes. |
Overrides
ToString(string)
Converts the numeric value of this instance to its equivalent string representation, using the specified format
Declaration
public string ToString(string format)
Parameters
Type | Name | Description |
---|---|---|
string | format | A numeric format string. |
Returns
Type | Description |
---|---|
string | The string representation of the value of this instance as specified by format. |
TryParse(string, out short)
Converts the string representation of a number to its 16-bit signed integer equivalent. A return value indicates whether the conversion succeeded or failed.
Declaration
public static bool TryParse(string s, out short result)
Parameters
Type | Name | Description |
---|---|---|
string | s | A string that contains a number to convert. |
short | result | When this method returns, contains the 16-bit signed integer value equivalent to the number contained in |
Returns
Type | Description |
---|---|
bool | true if |
Remarks
The TryParse(string, out short) method differs from the Parse(string) method by returning a bool value that indicates whether the parse operation succeeded instead of returning the parsed short value. It eliminates the need to use exception handling to test for a FormatException in the event that s
is invalid and cannot be successfully parsed.
