Decimal.ToInt16() Method in C#
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:
// 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 : 32767
Example 2: For OverflowException
// 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.OverflowException
