What is Decimal.ToInt16() in C#?

Overview

Decimal.ToInt16() is a C# method to convert a decimal number to its equivalent of a 16-bit signed integer.

Syntax

public static short ToInt16 (decimal d);

Parameters

d: This is the decimal value we want to convert.

Return value

The value returned is the 16-bit integer equivalent of the decimal number d.

Code example

// use System
using System;
// create class
class DecimalToInt16
{
    // main method
    static void Main()
    {
      // create decimal numbers
      decimal d1 = 123.343m;
      decimal d2 = -323.888m;
      decimal d3 = 0.9999m;
      // convert to int16
      // and print results
      Console.WriteLine(Decimal.ToInt16(d1));
      Console.WriteLine(Decimal.ToInt16(d2));
      Console.WriteLine(Decimal.ToInt16(d3));
    }
}

Explanation

  • Lines 10-12: We create some decimal values d1, d2 and d3.

  • Lines 16-19: We call the Decimal.ToInt16() method on the decimal values we created and print the results to the console.
