In C#, Int16 Struct defined under the System namespace represents a 16-bit signed integer also known as a short datatype etc. We can also call the methods of math class to perform mathematical operations. Int16 struct inherits the ValueType class which inherits the Object class. Characteristics are mentioned below:

  • Range: It ranges from -32768 to +32767
  • Operations: converting the value of an instance to its string representation, converting a string representation of a number to an instance.
  • Small values: Helpful when we need to store small values within a range.

Fields

  • MaxValue: This field is used to represent the largest possible value of an Int16. This field is constant.
  • MinValue: This field is used to represent the smallest possible value of Int16. This field is constant.

Example:

C#
// C# program to illustrate the 
// MaxValue and MinValue field 
using System; 

class Geeks
{ 
	static public void Main() 
	{ 
		Int16 var1 = 100; 
		Int16 var2 = 30; 
		Int16 var3 = 50; 

		// Get the Maximum and Minimum value of 
		// Int16 type Using MaxValue and the 
		// MinValue field 
		Console.WriteLine("Value 1: {0}", var1); 
		Console.WriteLine("Value 2: {0}", var2); 
		Console.WriteLine("Value 3: {0}", var3); 
		Console.WriteLine("Maximum Value: {0}", Int16.MaxValue); 
		Console.WriteLine("Minimum Value: {0}", Int16.MinValue); 
	} 
} 

Output
Value 1: 100
Value 2: 30
Value 3: 50
Maximum Value: 32767
Minimum Value: -32768

Methods

Method

Description

CompareTo()

Compares this instance to another Int16 or object, returning an integer that indicates if it is less than, equal to, or greater than the compared value.

Equals()

This method is used to return a value indicating whether this instance is equal to a specified object or Int16.

GetHashCode()

This method is used to return the hash code for this instance.

GetTypeCode()

This method is used to return the TypeCode for value type Int16.

Parse()

This method is used to convert the string representation of a number to its 16-bit signed integer equivalent.

ToString()

This method is used to convert the numeric value of this instance to its equivalent string representation.

TryParse()

This method is used to convert the string representation of a number to its 16-bit signed integer equivalent. A return value indicates whether the conversion succeeded or failed.

Example 1:

C#
// C# program to demonstrate the 
// Int16.Equals(Object) Method 
using System; 
	
class Geeks
{  
	public static void Main() 
	{ 
		// Declaring and initializing v1 
		short v1 = 57; 
	
		// It will convert into Int16 implicitly 
		// by the compiler to check whether it is 
		// in the range of short data type i.e. 
		// Int16 or not 
		object v2 = 47; 
	
		// using Equals(object) method 
		bool status = v1.Equals(v2); 
	
		// checking the status 
		if (status) 
			Console.WriteLine("{0} is equal to {1}", 
			v1, v2); 
		else
			Console.WriteLine("{0} is not equal to {1}", 
			v1, v2); 
	} 
} 

Output
57 is not equal to 47

Example 2:

C#
// C# program to illustrate the 
// GetHashCode() method 
using System; 

class Geeks
{ 
	static public void Main() 
	{ 
		Int16 v1 = 100; 
		Int16 v2 = 30; 
		Int16 v3 = 50; 

		// Get the hash code of all the variables 
		// Using GetHashCode() method 
		Console.WriteLine("Get the hash code of var1: {0}", 
		v1.GetHashCode()); 

		Console.WriteLine("Get the hash code of var2: {0}", 
		v2.GetHashCode()); 

		Console.WriteLine("Get the hash code of var3: {0}", 
		v3.GetHashCode()); 
	} 
} 

Output
Get the hash code of var1: 6553700
Get the hash code of var2: 1966110
Get the hash code of var3: 3276850
