Convert short to float in Java

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

Assign short variable to float variable in Java

ConvertShortToFloatExample1.java

public class ConvertShortToFloatExample1 {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        short value1 = 10;
        float value2 = value1;

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

The output is:

short value: 10
float value: 10.0

Using Float.valueOf() method to instantiate float from a short value

ConvertShortToFloatExample2.java

public class ConvertShortToFloatExample2 {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        short value1 = 20;
        float value2 = Float.valueOf(value1);

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

The output is:

short value: 20
float value: 20.0

Using Short.floatValue() method to get float value from a Short object

ConvertShortToFloatExample3.java

public class ConvertShortToFloatExample3 {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Short value1 = Short.valueOf((short)30);
        float value2 = value1.floatValue();

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

The output is:

short value: 30
float value: 30.0

Happy Coding 😊
