Convert short to String in Java

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

Using String.valueOf() method to create String from a short value

ConvertShortToStringExample1.java

public class ConvertShortToStringExample1 {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        short value1 = 123;
        String value2 = String.valueOf(value1);

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

The output is:

short value: 123
String value: 123

Convert short to String using Short.toString() static method

ConvertShortToStringExample2.java

public class ConvertShortToStringExample2 {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        short value1 = 456;
        String value2 = Short.toString(value1);

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

The output is:

short value: 456
String value: 456

Using Short.toString() method to get String value from a Short object

ConvertShortToStringExample3.java

public class ConvertShortToStringExample3 {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Short value1 = 789;
        String value2 = value1.toString();

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

The output is:

short value: 789
String value: 789

Format a short value to String using String.format() method

ConvertShortToStringExample4.java

public class ConvertShortToStringExample4 {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        short value1 = 987;
        String value2 = String.format("%d", value1);

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

The output is:

short value: 987
String value: 987

Format a short value to String using DecimalFormat class

ConvertShortToStringExample5.java

import java.text.DecimalFormat;

public class ConvertShortToStringExample5 {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        short value1 = 909;
        DecimalFormat decimalFormat = new DecimalFormat("#");
        String value2 = decimalFormat.format(value1);

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

The output is:

short value: 909
String value: 909

Happy Coding 😊
