Syntax

public final int readUnsignedShort() throws IOException

Returns

the next two bytes of this input stream, interpreted as an unsigned 16-bit integer.

Description

Reads an unsigned 16-bit number from this data input stream. This method reads two bytes from the underlying input stream. If the bytes read, in order, are b1 and b2, where 0 <= b1, b2 <= 255, then the result is equal to:

(b1 << 8) | b2

This method blocks until the two bytes are read, the end of the stream is detected, or an exception is thrown.

Exceptions

EOFException if this input stream reaches the end before reading two bytes.

Exceptions

IOException if an I/O error occurs.
