Question

I am trying to convert a string of numbers (e.g “34 4 5 6 67 45 34”) into an array of shorts.

I have written the following code :

//Split the string and then build a short array with the values.
            String[] tabOfShortString = finalString.split(" ");
            int length = tabOfShortString.length;
            System.out.println("Length of float string is" + length);
            short[] shortsArray = new short[length];
            for (int l = 0; l < length; l++) {
                //System.out.println("l is currently "+l);
                Short res = new Short(tabOfShortString[l]);
                System.out.println("Indice Short Value is " + res);
                shortsArray[l] = res;
            }

The problem is that the finished array (shortsArray) is not accurately capturing my string. Can anyone spot what may be wrong ?

Thank you.

Your solution works for me, this is what I have:

public static short[] toShorts(String finalString) {
    String[] tabOfShortString = finalString.split(" ");
    int length = tabOfShortString.length;
    System.out.println("Length of float string is" + length);
    short[] shortsArray = new short[length];
    for (int l = 0; l < length; l++) {
        //System.out.println("l is currently "+l);
        Short res = new Short(tabOfShortString[l]);
        System.out.println("Indice Short Value is " + res);
        shortsArray[l] = res;
    }

    return shortsArray;

}

Then I call this:

short[] qux = toShorts("34 4 5 6 67 45 34");

And the output of qux is:

[34, 4, 5, 6, 67, 45, 34]

I do not see a problem?
