The order() method of java.nio.ShortBuffer is used to retrieve the buffer's byte order.
The byte order of a short buffer created by allocation or by wrapping an existing short array is the native order of the underlying hardware. The byte order of a short buffer created as a view of a byte buffer is that of the byte buffer at the moment that the view is created.
Syntax:
Java
public abstract ByteOrder order()Return Value: The method returns the buffer's byte order. Below programs illustrate the use of order() method: Program 1:
// Java program to demonstrate
// order() method
import java.nio.*;
import java.util.*;
public class GFG {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
// creating short buffer
ShortBuffer bb = ShortBuffer.allocate(7);
bb.put((short)44);
// using the order method
System.out.println(bb.order());
}
}
Output:
LITTLE_ENDIAN
