Short toHexString

Question

There are methods Integer.toHexString() and Long.toHexString(). For some reason they didn\'t implement Short.toHexString().

What

Answer 1

Not the simplest way to do this, but I you can get it done by converting to a byte array then converting that to a hex string.

 short a = 233;
 byte[] ret = new byte[2];

 ret[0] = (byte)(a & 0xff);
 ret[1] = (byte)((a >> 8) & 0xff);

 StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
 for (byte b : ret) {
    sb.append(String.format("%02X ", b));
 }

I think that will pretty much do it.
