Short data type in java programming (V10)

    

 

short Data Types

        The short data type is a 16-bit signed two’s complement integer that provides a range of values from -32,768 (-2¹⁵) to 32,767 (2¹⁵ - 1). Similar to the byte data type, the short data type is also useful for saving memory because it takes up less space compared to an int, occupying only half its size. The default value for a short variable is 0.

public class ShortYearExample {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // Define short values for years
        short startYear = 1990;
        short endYear = 2025;

        // Calculate the difference between the two years
        short yearDifference = (short) Math.abs(endYear - startYear);

        // Print year difference
        System.out.println("Start Year: " + startYear);
        System.out.println("End Year: " + endYear);
        System.out.println("Difference between the years: " + yearDifference);

        // Leap year check for predefined years
        short[] years = { 2000, 2024, 2026, 2028, 2030};
        System.out.println("\nLeap Year Checks:");
        for (short year : years) {
            if (isLeapYear(year)) {
                System.out.println(year + " is a leap year.");
            } else {
                System.out.println(year + " is not a leap year.");
            }
        }
    }

    // Method to check if a year is a leap year
    public static boolean isLeapYear(short year) {
        return (year % 4 == 0 && year % 100 != 0) || (year % 400 == 0);
    }
