BigDecimal shortValueExact() Method in Java

Last Updated : 04 Dec, 2018

The java.math.BigDecimal.shortValueExact() is an inbuilt method in java that converts this BigDecimal to a short, checking for lost information. If this BigDecimal has a nonzero fractional part or is out of the possible range for a short result then an ArithmeticException is thrown.

Syntax:

public short shortValueExact()

Parameters: The method does not accepts any parameter.

Return value: This method returns the short value of the BigDecimal Object.

Below programs illustrates the above mentioned method:
Program 1:

// Program to demonstrate shortValueExact() method of BigDecimal  
  
import java.math.*; 
  
public class gfg { 
  
    public static void main(String[] args) 
    { 
  
        BigDecimal b1 = new BigDecimal("457"); 
        BigDecimal b2 = new BigDecimal("4785"); 
  
        // Assigning the short value of BigDecimal objects b1 and b2 
        // to short s1, s2 respectively 
        short s1 = b1.shortValueExact(); 
        short s2 = b2.shortValueExact(); 
  
        // Printing s1, s2 values 
        System.out.println("Exact short value of " + b1 + " is " + s1); 
        System.out.println("Exact short value of " + b2 + " is " + s2); 
    } 
} 

Output:

Exact short value of 457 is 457
Exact short value of 4785 is 4785

Program 2:

// Program to demonstrate shortValueExact() method of BigDecimal  
  
  
import java.math.*; 
  
public class gfg { 
  
    public static void main(String[] args) 
    { 
  
        BigDecimal b1 = new BigDecimal("127"); 
        BigDecimal b2 = new BigDecimal("1455"); 
  
        // assign the short value of BigDecimal objects b1 and b2 
        // to short s1, s2 respectively 
        short s1 = b1.shortValueExact(); 
        short s2 = b2.shortValueExact(); 
  
        // print s1, s2 values 
        System.out.println("Exact short value of " + b1 + " is " + s1); 
        System.out.println("Exact short value of " + b2 + " is " + s2); 
    } 
} 

Output:

Exact short value of 127 is 127
Exact short value of 1455 is 1455
