Decode a string to short value

static Short decode(String nm)
Decodes a String into a Short.

Accepts decimal, hexadecimal, and octal numbers given by the following grammar: 


        +/- 0x HexDigits 
        +/- 0X HexDigits 
        +/- # HexDigits 
        +/- 0 OctalDigits


public class Main {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    
    System.out.println("Decimal 10:"+Short.decode("10"));
    System.out.println("Octal 10:"+Short.decode("010"));
    System.out.println("Hex F:"+Short.decode("0XF"));
    System.out.println("Negative Hex F:"+Short.decode("-0XF"));
  }
}

The output: 


Decimal 10:10
Octal 10:8
Hex F:15
Negative Hex F:-15
