Scala Short <= Method

In Scala, Short is a datatype that stores a 16-bit integer value. The <= operator is used to compare two values, and it returns true if the left value is less than or equal to the right value.

The Short <= method is a shorthand for using the <= operator with two Short values. It takes a single argument of type Short and returns a boolean value indicating if the invoking Short value is less than or equal to the argument.

Syntax

The syntax for the Short <= method is as follows:

def <=(x: Short): Boolean

Here, <= is the method name, x is the argument of type Short, and Boolean is the return type.

Example

val a: Short = 5
val b: Short = 10

println(a <= 5) // true
println(a <= 10) // true
println(b <= 5) // false

In the example above, we declare two Short variables a and b, and compare them using the <= operator. The first two comparisons return true, as a is less than or equal to 5 and 10. The third comparison returns false, as b is not less than or equal to 5.

Conclusion

The Short <= method is a convenient way to compare two Short values using the <= operator. It takes a single argument of type Short and returns a boolean value indicating if the invoking Short value is less than or equal to the argument.
