Java - min and max short value (short range)

In this short article, we would like to show what is min and max short value in Java.

Quick solution:

Short in Java is in range from -32768 to 32767.

short minValue = Short.MIN_VALUE;  // -32768
short maxValue = Short.MAX_VALUE;  //  32767

Practical example

Hint: Short class is located in java.lang package and is imported automatically.

public class Program {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
    
        short minValue = Short.MIN_VALUE;  // -32768
        short maxValue = Short.MAX_VALUE;  //  32767

        System.out.println("minValue: " + minValue);  // minValue: -32768
        System.out.println("maxValue: " + maxValue);  // maxValue: 32767
    }
}

Output:

minValue: -32768
maxValue: 32767
