..., value
..., result
| i2s |
int to short
Description
The value on the top of the operand stack must be of type int. It is popped from the operand stack, truncated to a short, then sign-extended to an int result. The result is pushed onto the operand stack.
Notes
The i2s instruction performs a narrowing primitive conversion (§2.6.3). It may lose information about the overall magnitude of value. The result may also not have the same sign as value.
