Convert float to short in Java

In this Java core tutorial, we learn how to convert float value into short value in Java via different solutions.

How to cast float to short value in Java

ConvertFloatToShortExample1.java

public class ConvertFloatToShortExample1 {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        float value1 = 12.34F;
        short value2 = (short)value1;

        System.out.println("float value: " + value1);
        System.out.println("short value: " + value2);
    }
}

The output is:

float value: 12.34
short value: 12

Using Float.shortValue() method to get short value from a Float object

ConvertFloatToShortExample2.java

public class ConvertFloatToShortExample2 {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Float value1 = Float.valueOf(34.56F);
        short value2 = value1.shortValue();

        System.out.println("float value: " + value1);
        System.out.println("short value: " + value2);
    }
}

The output is:

float value: 34.56
short value: 34

Happy Coding 😊
