The readShort() method of DataInputStream class in Java is used to read two input bytes and returns a short value. This method reads the next two bytes from the input stream and interprets it into short type and returns.
Syntax:
Java
Program 2: Assume the existence of file "demo.txt".
Java
public final short readShort()
throws IOException
Specified By: This method is specified by the readShort() method of DataInput interface.
Parameters: This method does not accept any parameter.
Return value: This method returns the short value interpreted by the next two bytes of the input stream.
Exceptions:
- EOFException - It throws EOFException if the input stream is ended before two bytes can be read.
- IOException - This method throws IOException if the stream is closed or some other I/O error occurs.
