The MinValue property or Field of Int16 Struct is used to represent the minimum possible value of Int16. The value of this field is constant means that a user cannot change the value of this field. The value of this field is -32768. Its hexadecimal value is 0x8000. It also saves the program from OverflowException while converting numeric type with a greater lower range like Int64 and Int32 to Int16.
Syntax:
CSharp
Output:
public const short MinValue = -32768;Return Value: This field always returns -32768. Example:
// C# program to illustrate the
// Int16.MinValue field
using System;
class GFG {
// Main Method
static public void Main()
{
// display the Minimum value of Int16 struct
Console.WriteLine("Minimum Value is: "+
Int16.MinValue);
// Taking an array of long i.e Int64 data type
long []num = {742346, 43443, -345, -7463647};
// taking variable of Int16 type
short mynum;
foreach(long n in num){
if(n >= Int16.MinValue && n <= Int16.MaxValue)
{
// using the method of Convert class
// to convert Int64 to Int16
mynum = Convert.ToInt16(n);
Console.WriteLine("Conversion is Possible.");
}
else
{
Console.WriteLine("Not Possible");
}
}
}
}
Minimum Value is: -32768 Not Possible Not Possible Conversion is Possible. Not PossibleReference:
