In this lesson, we will learn, what is Short Variable and how it works in Java programming along with some examples.

Declare a short variable x.

short x;

Declare a short variable x to assign a short value 1024.

short x = 1024;

Declare 3 short variables x, y and z in a single line.

short x, y, z;

Declare 3 short variables x, y and z to assign the short value 4297, 670 and 8531 respectively in a single line.

short x=4297, y=670, z=8531;

Declare a short variable x and assign the short value 180 in the second line.

short x;
x = 180;

Declare a short variable x and assign the short value 7654 and change its value to 548 in the next line.

short x = 7654;
x = 548; // now the new value of x is 548
