Create Short object with its constructor

ConstructorSummary
Short(short value)Creates a newly allocated Short object that represents the specified short value.
Short(String s)Creates a newly allocated Short object that represents the short value indicated by the String parameter.

public class Main {
  public static void main(String[] args) {

    Short shortObject = new Short("1000");
    System.out.println(shortObject);

    short s = 101;
    Short shortObject2 = new Short(s);
    System.out.println(shortObject2);

  }
}

The output:


1000
101

You cannot pass integer literal to the constructor directly as Java think it is an int not a short value.


public class Main {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    Short shortObject2 = new Short(101);
    System.out.println(shortObject2);

  }
}

    The constructor Short(int) is undefined
