short is a Java primitive type.
A short variable may store a 16-bit signed integer.
short number = 5; short octalNumber = 0077; short hexNumber = 0xff;
The Short class is a wrapper class for the short primitive type. It defines MIN_VALUE and MAX_VALUE constants representing the range of values for this type.
All integer literals in Java are 32-bit int values unless the value is followed by l or L as in 235L, indicating the value should be interpreted as a long.
