regarding passing the value

[laxmidhar prad]

sir
suppose i write a programme.in this i declare a method whch take integer as an argument.in my main method i want to call this method by passing short. is it possible or not

[Brian Mozhdehi]

yes, simply cast the short to an integer. Like this:

public void main(String[] args)
{
// your code

yourMethod((int)(x)); //where x is the short you are describing
}

[Jesper de Jong]

When converting from a short to an int, you don't need a cast at all. Java automatically does the conversion, because a short always fits into an int.

public class Main {
    public static void main(String args[]) {
        short s = 1234;
 
        // Call method that takes an int, but call it with a short
        myMethod(s);
    }
 
    private static void myMethod(int value) {
        System.out.println(value);
    }
}
