This method is used to convert the value of the specified Decimal to the equivalent 16-bit signed integer. A user can also convert a Decimal value to a 16-bit integer by using the Explicit assignment operator.
Syntax: public static short ToInt16 (decimal value); Here, the value is the decimal number which is to be converted. Return Value: It returns a 16-bit signed integer equivalent to the specified value. Exception: This method will give OverflowException if the specified value is less than MinValue or greater than MaxValue.
Below programs illustrate the use of the above-discussed method:
Example 1: csharp
// C# program to demonstrate the
// Decimal.ToInt16(Decimal) Method
using System;
class GFG {
// Main Method
public static void Main()
{
try {
// Taking decimal variables
Decimal dec1 = 21564.236M;
Decimal dec2 = 32767.256m;
// using Decimal.ToInt16(Decimal) Method
// Here short means Int16
short val1 = Decimal.ToInt16(dec1);
// using Decimal.ToInt16(Decimal) Method
// Here short means Int16
short val2 = Decimal.ToInt16(dec2);
// Printing the Int16 value
Console.WriteLine("The Int16 value "
+ "is : {0}", val1);
// Printing the Int16 value
Console.WriteLine("The Int16 value "
+ "is : {0}", val2);
}
catch (OverflowException e)
{
Console.Write("Exception Thrown: ");
Console.Write("{0}", e.GetType(), e.Message);
}
}
}
Output:
The Int16 value is : 21564 The Int16 value is : 32767Example 2:
For
OverflowException csharp
// C# program to demonstrate the
// Decimal.ToInt16(Decimal) Method
using System;
class GFG {
// Main Method
public static void Main()
{
try {
// Taking decimal variable
// Taking the maximum value
// of Decimal
Decimal dec1 = Decimal.MaxValue;
// using Decimal.ToInt16(Decimal) Method
// Here short means Int16
// It will give error as Decimal.MaxValue
// value is out of range from Int16
short val1 = Decimal.ToInt16(dec1);
// Printing the Int16 value
Console.WriteLine("The Int16 value "
+ "is : {0}", val1);
}
catch (OverflowException e)
{
Console.Write("Exception Thrown: ");
Console.Write("{0}", e.GetType(), e.Message);
}
}
}
Output:
Exception Thrown: System.OverflowExceptionReference:
