Int16.MinValue Field

Definition

Represents the smallest possible value of Int16. This field is constant.

public: short MinValue = -32768;
public const short MinValue = -32768;
val mutable MinValue : int16
Public Const MinValue As Short  = -32768

Field Value

Value = -32768

Examples

The following example uses the MinValue property to prevent an OverflowException when converting to an Int16 value.

array<Int64>^ numbersToConvert = {162345, 32183, -54000};
Int16 newNumber;
for each (Int64 number in numbersToConvert)
{
   if (number >= Int16::MinValue && number <= Int16::MaxValue)
   {
      newNumber = Convert::ToInt16(number);
      Console::WriteLine("Successfully converted {0} to an Int16.", 
                         newNumber);
   }
   else
   {
      Console::WriteLine("Unable to convert {0} to an Int16.", number);
   }
}
// The example displays the following output:
//       Unable to convert 162345 to an Int16.
//       Successfully converted 32183 to an Int16.
//       Unable to convert -54000 to an Int16.
long[] numbersToConvert = {162345, 32183, -54000};
short newNumber;
foreach (long number in numbersToConvert)
{
   if (number >= Int16.MinValue && number <= Int16.MaxValue)
   {
      newNumber = Convert.ToInt16(number);
      Console.WriteLine($"Successfully converted {newNumber} to an Int16.");
   }
   else
   {
      Console.WriteLine($"Unable to convert {number} to an Int16.");
   }
}
// The example displays the following output to the console:
//       Unable to convert 162345 to an Int16.
//       Successfully converted 32183 to an Int16.
//       Unable to convert -54000 to an Int16.

Remarks

The value of this constant is -32768; that is, hexadecimal 0x8000.

The MinValue property is typically used to prevent an OverflowException when converting from a numeric type with a greater lower range (such as an Int32 or an Int64) to an Int16. The example illustrates this usage.
