Unsigned short in Java

It is not possible to declare a type unsigned short, but in my case, I needed to get the unsigned number to use it in a for loop. There is the method toUnsignedInt in the class Short that returns "the argument converted to int by an unsigned conversion":

short signedValue = -4767;
System.out.println(signedValue ); // prints -4767

int unsignedValue = Short.toUnsignedInt(signedValue);
System.out.println(unsingedValue); // prints 60769

Similar methods exist for Integer and Long:

Integer.toUnsignedLong

Long.toUnsignedString : In this case it ends up in a String because there isn't a bigger numeric type.

No, really there is no such method, java is a high-level language. That's why Java doesn't have any unsigned data types.

//вот метод для получения аналога unsigned short
    public static int getShortU(byte [] arr, int i )  throws Exception 
    {
       try
       {
           byte [] b = new byte[2]; 
           b[1] = arr[i];
           b[0] = arr[i+1];
           int k = ByteBuffer.wrap(b).getShort();
            //if this: 
           //int k = ((int)b[0] << 8) + ((int)b[1] << 0); 
           //65536 = 2**16
           if ( k <0) k = 65536+ k; 
        return k;
      }  
       catch(Throwable t)
      {
          throw  new Exception ("from getShort: i=" + i);
      }
    }
