Int16.CompareTo Method

public int CompareTo(object value);

Summary

Returns the sort order of the current instance compared to the specified Object.

Parameters

value
The Object to compare to the current instance.

Return Value

A Int32 containing a value that reflects the sort order of the current instance as compared to value. The following table defines the conditions under which the return value is a negative number, zero, or a positive number.

Return ValueDescription
Any negative numberCurrent instance < value.
ZeroCurrent instance == value.
Any positive numberCurrent instance > value, or value is a null reference.

Exceptions

Exception TypeCondition
ArgumentExceptionvalue is not a Int16 and is not a null reference.

Description

[Note: This method is implemented to support the IComparable interface.]

Int16.Equals Method

public override bool Equals(object obj);

Summary

Determines whether the current instance and the specified Object represent the same type and value.

Parameters

obj
The Object to compare to the current instance.

Return Value

true if obj represents the same type and value as the current instance. If obj is a null reference or is not an instance of Int16, returns false .

Description

[Note: This method overrides System.Object.Equals(System.Object).]

Int16.GetHashCode Method

public override int GetHashCode();

Summary

Generates a hash code for the current instance.

Return Value

A Int32 containing the hash code for the current instance.

Description

The algorithm used to generate the hash code is unspecified.

[Note: This method overrides System.Object.GetHashCode.]

Int16.Parse(System.String) Method

public static short Parse(string s);

Summary

Returns the specified String converted to a Int16 value.

Parameters

s
A String containing the value to convert. The string is interpreted using the System.Globalization.NumberStyles.Integer style.

Return Value

The Int16 value obtained from s.

Exceptions

Exception TypeCondition
ArgumentNullExceptions is a null reference.
FormatExceptions is not in the correct style.
OverflowExceptions represents a number greater than System.Int16.MaxValue or less than System.Int16.MinValue.

Description

This version of System.Int16.Parse(System.String) is equivalent to System.Int16.Parse(System.String) (s, System.Globalization.NumberStyles.Integer, null ).

The string s is parsed using the formatting information in a NumberFormatInfo initialized for the current system culture. [Note: For more information, see System.Globalization.NumberFormatInfo.CurrentInfo.]

Example

This example demonstrates parsing a string to a Int16.

using System;
public class Int16ParseClass {
  public static void Main() {
    string str = "  100   ";
    Console.WriteLine("String: \"{0}\" <Int16> {1}",str,Int16.Parse(str));
  }
}
The output is

String: " 100 " <Int16> 100

Int16.Parse(System.String, System.Globalization.NumberStyles) Method

public static short Parse(string s, NumberStyles style);

Summary

Returns the specified String converted to a Int16 value.

Parameters

s
A String containing the value to convert. The string is interpreted using the style specified by style.
style
Zero or more NumberStyles values that specify the style of s. Specify multiple values for style using the bitwise OR operator. If style is a null reference, the string is interpreted using the System.Globalization.NumberStyles.Integer style.

Exceptions

Exception TypeCondition
ArgumentNullExceptions is a null reference.
FormatExceptions is not in the correct style.
OverflowExceptions represents a number greater than System.Int16.MaxValue or less than System.Int16.MinValue.

Description

This version of System.Int16.Parse(System.String) is equivalent to System.Int16.Parse(System.String)(s, style, null ).

The string s is parsed using the formatting information in a NumberFormatInfo initialized for the current system culture. [Note: For more information, see System.Globalization.NumberFormatInfo.CurrentInfo .]

Int16.Parse(System.String, System.IFormatProvider) Method

public static short Parse(string s, IFormatProvider provider);

Summary

Returns the specified String converted to a Int16value.

Parameters

s
A String containing the value to convert. The string is interpreted using the System.Globalization.NumberStyles.Integer style.
provider
A IFormatProvider that supplies a NumberFormatInfo containing culture-specific formatting information about s.

Return Value

The Int16 value obtained from s.

Exceptions

Exception TypeCondition
ArgumentNullExceptions is a null reference.
FormatExceptions is not in the correct style.
OverflowExceptions represents a number greater than System.Int16.MaxValue or less than System.Int16.MinValue.

Description

This version of System.Int16.Parse(System.String) is equivalent to System.Int16.Parse(System.String)(s, System.Globalization.NumberStyles.Integer, provider).

The string s is parsed using the culture-specific formatting information from the NumberFormatInfo instance supplied by provider. If provider is null or a NumberFormatInfo cannot be obtained from provider, the formatting information for the current system culture is used.
