Java - convert String to short

In Java, we can convert String to short in couple of different ways.

Short solutions:

// solution 1
short num1 = Short.parseShort("123"); // 123

// solution 2
Short num2 = Short.valueOf("123"); // 123

1. Using Short.parseShort()

public class Example1 {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        String numStr = "123";
        short num = Short.parseShort(numStr);
        System.out.println(num); // 123
    }
}

Output:

123

2. Using Short.valueOf()

public class Example2 {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        String str = "123";
        Short num = Short.valueOf(str);
        System.out.println(num); // 123
    }
}

Output:

123
