A short buffer.

This class defines four categories of operations upon
short buffers:

- Absolute and relative `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/nio/ShortBuffer#get()` and
  `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/nio/ShortBuffer#put(short)` methods that read and write
  single shorts;

- Absolute and relative `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/nio/ShortBuffer#get(short[])`
  methods that transfer contiguous sequences of shorts from this buffer
  into an array; and

- Absolute and relative `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/nio/ShortBuffer#put(short[])`
  methods that transfer contiguous sequences of shorts from a
  short array or some other short
  buffer into this buffer; and

- A method for `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/nio/ShortBuffer#compact()`
  a short buffer.

Short buffers can be created either by `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/nio/ShortBuffer#allocate(int)`, which allocates space for the buffer's


content, by `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/nio/ShortBuffer#wrap(short[])` an existing
short array into a buffer, or by creating a
[*view*](https://developer.android.com/reference/java/nio/ByteBuffer#views) of an existing byte buffer.


Like a byte buffer, a short buffer is either [*direct* or *non-direct*](https://developer.android.com/reference/java/nio/ByteBuffer#direct). A
short buffer created via the `wrap` methods of this class will
be non-direct. A short buffer created as a view of a byte buffer will
be direct if, and only if, the byte buffer itself is direct. Whether or not
a short buffer is direct may be determined by invoking the `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/nio/ShortBuffer#isDirect()` method.

Methods in this class that do not otherwise have a value to return are
specified to return the buffer upon which they are invoked. This allows
method invocations to be chained.

## Public methods

### allocate

Added in [API level 1](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)

```
public static ShortBuffer allocate (int capacity)
```

Allocates a new short buffer.

The new buffer's position will be zero, its limit will be its
capacity, its mark will be undefined, each of its elements will be
initialized to zero, and its byte order will be


the `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/nio/ByteOrder#nativeOrder()` of the underlying
hardware.

It will have a `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/nio/ShortBuffer#array()`, and its
`https://developer.android.com/reference/java/nio/ShortBuffer#arrayOffset()` will be zero.

<br />

| Parameters ||
|---|---|
| `capacity` | `int`: The new buffer's capacity, in shorts <br /> |

| Returns ||
|---|---|
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/nio/ShortBuffer` | The new short buffer <br /> |

| Throws ||
|---|---|
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/IllegalArgumentException` | If the `capacity` is a negative integer |

### array

Added in [API level 1](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)

```
public final short[] array ()
```

Returns the short array that backs this
buffer *(optional operation)*.

Modifications to this buffer's content will cause the returned
array's content to be modified, and vice versa.

Invoke the `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/nio/ShortBuffer#hasArray()` method before invoking this
method in order to ensure that this buffer has an accessible backing
array.

<br />

<br />

| Returns ||
|---|---|
| `short[]` | The array that backs this buffer <br /> |

| Throws ||
|---|---|
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/UnsupportedOperationException` | If this buffer is not backed by an accessible array |
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/nio/ReadOnlyBufferException` | If this buffer is backed by an array but is read-only |

### arrayOffset

Added in [API level 1](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)

```
public final int arrayOffset ()
```

Returns the offset within this buffer's backing array of the first
element of the buffer *(optional operation)*.

If this buffer is backed by an array then buffer position *p*
corresponds to array index *p* + `arrayOffset()`.

Invoke the `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/nio/ShortBuffer#hasArray()` method before invoking this
method in order to ensure that this buffer has an accessible backing
array.

<br />

<br />

| Returns ||
|---|---|
| `int` | The offset within this buffer's array of the first element of the buffer <br /> |

| Throws ||
|---|---|
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/UnsupportedOperationException` | If this buffer is not backed by an accessible array |
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/nio/ReadOnlyBufferException` | If this buffer is backed by an array but is read-only |

### asReadOnlyBuffer

Added in [API level 1](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)

```
public abstract ShortBuffer asReadOnlyBuffer ()
```

Creates a new, read-only short buffer that shares this buffer's
content.

The content of the new buffer will be that of this buffer. Changes
to this buffer's content will be visible in the new buffer; the new
buffer itself, however, will be read-only and will not allow the shared
content to be modified. The two buffers' position, limit, and mark
values will be independent.

The new buffer's capacity, limit, position,


mark values, and byte order will be identical to those of this buffer.


If this buffer is itself read-only then this method behaves in
exactly the same way as the `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/nio/ShortBuffer#duplicate()` method.

<br />

<br />

| Returns ||
|---|---|
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/nio/ShortBuffer` | The new, read-only short buffer <br /> |

### clear

Added in [API level 1](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)

```
public Buffer clear ()
```

Clears this buffer. The position is set to zero, the limit is set to
the capacity, and the mark is discarded.

Invoke this method before using a sequence of channel-read or
*put* operations to fill this buffer. For example:

> ```
> buf.clear();     // Prepare buffer for reading
> in.read(buf);    // Read data
> ```

This method does not actually erase the data in the buffer, but it
is named as if it did because it will most often be used in situations
in which that might as well be the case.

<br />

<br />

| Returns ||
|---|---|
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/nio/Buffer` | This buffer <br /> |

### compact

Added in [API level 1](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)

```
public abstract ShortBuffer compact ()
```

Compacts this buffer *(optional operation)*.

The shorts between the buffer's current position and its limit,
if any, are copied to the beginning of the buffer. That is, the
short at index *p* = `position()` is copied
to index zero, the short at index *p* + 1 is copied
to index one, and so forth until the short at index
`limit()` - 1 is copied to index
*n* = `limit()` - `1` - *p*.
The buffer's position is then set to *n+1* and its limit is set to
its capacity. The mark, if defined, is discarded.

The buffer's position is set to the number of shorts copied,
rather than to zero, so that an invocation of this method can be
followed immediately by an invocation of another relative *put*
method.

<br />

<br />

| Returns ||
|---|---|
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/nio/ShortBuffer` | This buffer <br /> |

| Throws ||
|---|---|
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/nio/ReadOnlyBufferException` | If this buffer is read-only |

### compareTo

Added in [API level 1](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)

```
public int compareTo (ShortBuffer that)
```

Compares this buffer to another.

Two short buffers are compared by comparing their sequences of
remaining elements lexicographically, without regard to the starting
position of each sequence within its corresponding buffer.


Pairs of `short` elements are compared as if by invoking
`https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/Short#compare(short,%20short)`.


A short buffer is not comparable to any other type of object.

<br />

| Parameters ||
|---|---|
| `that` | `ShortBuffer` <br /> |

| Returns ||
|---|---|
| `int` | A negative integer, zero, or a positive integer as this buffer is less than, equal to, or greater than the given buffer <br /> |

### duplicate

Added in [API level 1](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)

```
public abstract ShortBuffer duplicate ()
```

Creates a new short buffer that shares this buffer's content.

The content of the new buffer will be that of this buffer. Changes
to this buffer's content will be visible in the new buffer, and vice
versa; the two buffers' position, limit, and mark values will be
independent.

The new buffer's capacity, limit, position,


mark values, and byte order will be identical to those of this buffer.

The new buffer will be direct if, and only if, this buffer is direct, and
it will be read-only if, and only if, this buffer is read-only.

<br />

<br />

| Returns ||
|---|---|
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/nio/ShortBuffer` | The new short buffer <br /> |

### equals

Added in [API level 1](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)

```
public boolean equals (Object ob)
```

Tells whether or not this buffer is equal to another object.

Two short buffers are equal if, and only if,

1. They have the same element type,

2. They have the same number of remaining elements, and

3. The two sequences of remaining elements, considered
   independently of their starting positions, are pointwise equal.


A short buffer is not equal to any other type of object.

<br />

<br />

| Parameters ||
|---|---|
| `ob` | `Object`: The object to which this buffer is to be compared <br /> |

| Returns ||
|---|---|
| `boolean` | `true` if, and only if, this buffer is equal to the given object <br /> |

### flip

Added in [API level 1](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)

```
public Buffer flip ()
```

Flips this buffer. The limit is set to the current position and then
the position is set to zero. If the mark is defined then it is
discarded.

After a sequence of channel-read or *put* operations, invoke
this method to prepare for a sequence of channel-write or relative
*get* operations. For example:

> ```
> buf.put(magic);    // Prepend header
> in.read(buf);      // Read data into rest of buffer
> buf.flip();        // Flip buffer
> out.write(buf);    // Write header + data to channel
> ```

This method is often used in conjunction with the `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/nio/ByteBuffer#compact()` method when transferring data from
one place to another.

<br />

<br />

| Returns ||
|---|---|
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/nio/Buffer` | This buffer <br /> |

### get

Added in [API level 35](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)

```
public ShortBuffer get (int index, 
                short[] dst, 
                int offset, 
                int length)
```

Absolute bulk *get* method.

This method transfers `length` shorts from this
buffer into the given array, starting at the given index in this
buffer and at the given offset in the array. The position of this
buffer is unchanged.

An invocation of this method of the form
`src.get(index, dst, offset, length)`
has exactly the same effect as the following loop except that it first
checks the consistency of the supplied parameters and it is potentially
much more efficient:

    for (int i = offset, j = index; i < offset + length; i++, j++)
            dst[i] = src.get(j);

<br />

<br />

| Parameters ||
|---|---|
| `index` | `int`: The index in this buffer from which the first short will be read; must be non-negative and less than `limit()` <br /> |
| `dst` | `short`: The destination array <br /> |
| `offset` | `int`: The offset within the array of the first short to be written; must be non-negative and less than `dst.length` <br /> |
| `length` | `int`: The number of shorts to be written to the given array; must be non-negative and no larger than the smaller of `limit() - index` and `dst.length - offset` <br /> |

| Returns ||
|---|---|
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/nio/ShortBuffer` | This buffer <br /> |

| Throws ||
|---|---|
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/IndexOutOfBoundsException` | If the preconditions on the `index`, `offset`, and `length` parameters do not hold |

### get

Added in [API level 1](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)

```
public abstract short get ()
```

Relative *get* method. Reads the short at this buffer's
current position, and then increments the position.

<br />

| Returns ||
|---|---|
| `short` | The short at the buffer's current position <br /> |

| Throws ||
|---|---|
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/nio/BufferUnderflowException` | If the buffer's current position is not smaller than its limit |

### get

Added in [API level 1](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)

```
public ShortBuffer get (short[] dst)
```

Relative bulk *get* method.

This method transfers shorts from this buffer into the given
destination array. An invocation of this method of the form
`src.get(a)` behaves in exactly the same way as the invocation

```
    src.get(a, 0, a.length) 
```

<br />

<br />

| Parameters ||
|---|---|
| `dst` | `short`: The destination array <br /> |

| Returns ||
|---|---|
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/nio/ShortBuffer` | This buffer <br /> |

| Throws ||
|---|---|
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/nio/BufferUnderflowException` | If there are fewer than `length` shorts remaining in this buffer |

### get

Added in [API level 1](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)

```
public ShortBuffer get (short[] dst, 
                int offset, 
                int length)
```

Relative bulk *get* method.

This method transfers shorts from this buffer into the given
destination array. If there are fewer shorts remaining in the
buffer than are required to satisfy the request, that is, if
`length` `>` `remaining()`, then no
shorts are transferred and a `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/nio/BufferUnderflowException` is
thrown.

Otherwise, this method copies `length` shorts from this
buffer into the given array, starting at the current position of this
buffer and at the given offset in the array. The position of this
buffer is then incremented by `length`.

In other words, an invocation of this method of the form
`src.get(dst, off, len)` has exactly the same effect as
the loop

    for (int i = off; i < off + len; i++)
            dst[i] = src.get();

except that it first checks that there are sufficient shorts in this buffer and it is potentially much more efficient.

<br />

<br />

| Parameters ||
|---|---|
| `dst` | `short`: The array into which shorts are to be written <br /> |
| `offset` | `int`: The offset within the array of the first short to be written; must be non-negative and no larger than `dst.length` <br /> |
| `length` | `int`: The maximum number of shorts to be written to the given array; must be non-negative and no larger than `dst.length - offset` <br /> |

| Returns ||
|---|---|
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/nio/ShortBuffer` | This buffer <br /> |

| Throws ||
|---|---|
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/IndexOutOfBoundsException` | If the preconditions on the `offset` and `length` parameters do not hold |
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/nio/BufferUnderflowException` | If there are fewer than `length` shorts remaining in this buffer |

### get

Added in [API level 1](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)

```
public abstract short get (int index)
```

Absolute *get* method. Reads the short at the given
index.

<br />

| Parameters ||
|---|---|
| `index` | `int`: The index from which the short will be read <br /> |

| Returns ||
|---|---|
| `short` | The short at the given index <br /> |

| Throws ||
|---|---|
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/IndexOutOfBoundsException` | If `index` is negative or not smaller than the buffer's limit |

### get

Added in [API level 35](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)

```
public ShortBuffer get (int index, 
                short[] dst)
```

Absolute bulk *get* method.

This method transfers shorts from this buffer into the given
destination array. The position of this buffer is unchanged. An
invocation of this method of the form
`src.get(index, dst)` behaves in exactly the same
way as the invocation:

```
    src.get(index, dst, 0, dst.length) 
```

<br />

<br />

| Parameters ||
|---|---|
| `index` | `int`: The index in this buffer from which the first short will be read; must be non-negative and less than `limit()` <br /> |
| `dst` | `short`: The destination array <br /> |

| Returns ||
|---|---|
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/nio/ShortBuffer` | This buffer <br /> |

| Throws ||
|---|---|
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/IndexOutOfBoundsException` | If `index` is negative, not smaller than `limit()`, or `limit() - index < dst.length` |

### hasArray

Added in [API level 1](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)

```
public final boolean hasArray ()
```

Tells whether or not this buffer is backed by an accessible short
array.

If this method returns `true` then the `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/nio/ShortBuffer#array()`
and `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/nio/ShortBuffer#arrayOffset()` methods may safely be invoked.

<br />

<br />

| Returns ||
|---|---|
| `boolean` | `true` if, and only if, this buffer is backed by an array and is not read-only <br /> |

### hashCode

Added in [API level 1](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)

```
public int hashCode ()
```

Returns the current hash code of this buffer.

The hash code of a short buffer depends only upon its remaining
elements; that is, upon the elements from `position()` up to, and
including, the element at `limit()` - `1`.

Because buffer hash codes are content-dependent, it is inadvisable
to use buffers as keys in hash maps or similar data structures unless it
is known that their contents will not change.

<br />

<br />

| Returns ||
|---|---|
| `int` | The current hash code of this buffer <br /> |

### isDirect

Added in [API level 1](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)

```
public abstract boolean isDirect ()
```

Tells whether or not this short buffer is direct.

<br />

| Returns ||
|---|---|
| `boolean` | `true` if, and only if, this buffer is direct <br /> |

### limit

Added in [API level 1](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)

```
public Buffer limit (int newLimit)
```

Sets this buffer's limit. If the position is larger than the new limit
then it is set to the new limit. If the mark is defined and larger than
the new limit then it is discarded.

<br />

| Parameters ||
|---|---|
| `newLimit` | `int`: The new limit value; must be non-negative and no larger than this buffer's capacity <br /> |

| Returns ||
|---|---|
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/nio/Buffer` | This buffer <br /> |

### mark

Added in [API level 1](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)

```
public Buffer mark ()
```

Sets this buffer's mark at its position.

<br />

| Returns ||
|---|---|
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/nio/Buffer` | This buffer <br /> |

### mismatch

Added in [API level 34](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)

```
public int mismatch (ShortBuffer that)
```

Finds and returns the relative index of the first mismatch between this
buffer and a given buffer. The index is relative to the
`https://developer.android.com/reference/java/nio/Buffer#position()` of each buffer and will be in the range of
0 (inclusive) up to the smaller of the `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/nio/Buffer#remaining()`
elements in each buffer (exclusive).

If the two buffers share a common prefix then the returned index is
the length of the common prefix and it follows that there is a mismatch
between the two buffers at that index within the respective buffers.
If one buffer is a proper prefix of the other then the returned index is
the smaller of the remaining elements in each buffer, and it follows that
the index is only valid for the buffer with the larger number of
remaining elements.
Otherwise, there is no mismatch.

<br />

| Parameters ||
|---|---|
| `that` | `ShortBuffer`: The byte buffer to be tested for a mismatch with this buffer <br /> |

| Returns ||
|---|---|
| `int` | The relative index of the first mismatch between this and the given buffer, otherwise -1 if no mismatch. <br /> |

### order

Added in [API level 1](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)

```
public abstract ByteOrder order ()
```

Retrieves this buffer's byte order.

The byte order of a short buffer created by allocation or by
wrapping an existing `short` array is the `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/nio/ByteOrder#nativeOrder()` of the underlying
hardware. The byte order of a short buffer created as a [view](https://developer.android.com/reference/java/nio/ByteBuffer#views) of a byte buffer is that of the
byte buffer at the moment that the view is created.

<br />

<br />

| Returns ||
|---|---|
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/nio/ByteOrder` | This buffer's byte order <br /> |

### position

Added in [API level 1](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)

```
public Buffer position (int newPosition)
```

Sets this buffer's position. If the mark is defined and larger than the
new position then it is discarded.

<br />

| Parameters ||
|---|---|
| `newPosition` | `int`: The new position value; must be non-negative and no larger than the current limit <br /> |

| Returns ||
|---|---|
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/nio/Buffer` | This buffer <br /> |

```
public ShortBuffer put (short[] src, 
                int offset, 
                int length)
```

Relative bulk *put* method *(optional operation)*.

This method transfers shorts into this buffer from the given
source array. If there are more shorts to be copied from the array
than remain in this buffer, that is, if
`length` `>` `remaining()`, then no
shorts are transferred and a `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/nio/BufferOverflowException` is
thrown.

Otherwise, this method copies `length` shorts from the
given array into this buffer, starting at the given offset in the array
and at the current position of this buffer. The position of this buffer
is then incremented by `length`.

In other words, an invocation of this method of the form
`dst.put(src, off, len)` has exactly the same effect as
the loop

    for (int i = off; i < off + len; i++)
            dst.put(src[i]);

except that it first checks that there is sufficient space in this buffer and it is potentially much more efficient.

<br />

<br />

| Parameters ||
|---|---|
| `src` | `short`: The array from which shorts are to be read <br /> |
| `offset` | `int`: The offset within the array of the first short to be read; must be non-negative and no larger than `src.length` <br /> |

| Returns ||
|---|---|
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/nio/ShortBuffer` | This buffer <br /> |

| Throws ||
|---|---|
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/IndexOutOfBoundsException` | If the preconditions on the `offset` and `length` parameters do not hold |

public final ShortBuffer put (short[] src)
```

Relative bulk *put* method *(optional operation)*.

This method transfers the entire content of the given source
short array into this buffer. An invocation of this method of the

```

<br />

<br />

| Parameters ||
|---|---|
| `src` | `short`: The source array <br /> |

array, starting at the given offset in the array and at the given index
in this buffer. The position of this buffer is unchanged.

An invocation of this method of the form
`dst.put(index, src, offset, length)`
has exactly the same effect as the following loop except that it first
checks the consistency of the supplied parameters and it is potentially
much more efficient:

```
public abstract ShortBuffer put (short s)
```

Relative *put* method *(optional operation)*.

Writes the given short into this buffer at the current
position, and then increments the position.

<br />

<br />

| Parameters ||
|---|---|
| `s` | `short`: The short to be written <br /> |

| Returns ||
|---|---|
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/nio/ShortBuffer` | This buffer <br /> |

| Throws ||

```
public abstract ShortBuffer put (int index, 
                short s)
```

Absolute *put* method *(optional operation)*.

Writes the given short into this buffer at the given
index.

<br />

<br />

| Parameters ||
|---|---|
| `index` | `int`: The index at which the short will be written <br /> |
| `s` | `short`: The short value to be written <br /> |

| Returns ||
|---|---|
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/nio/ShortBuffer` | This buffer <br /> |

| Throws ||

### put

Added in [API level 1](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)

```
public ShortBuffer put (ShortBuffer src)
```

Relative bulk *put* method *(optional operation)*.

This method transfers the shorts remaining in the given source
buffer into this buffer. If there are more shorts remaining in the
source buffer than in this buffer, that is, if
`src.remaining()` `>` `remaining()`,
then no shorts are transferred and a `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/nio/BufferOverflowException` is thrown.

Otherwise, this method copies
*n* = `src.remaining()` shorts from the given
buffer into this buffer, starting at each buffer's current position.
The positions of both buffers are then incremented by *n*.

In other words, an invocation of this method of the form
`dst.put(src)` has exactly the same effect as the loop

```
    while (src.hasRemaining())
        dst.put(src.get()); 
```
except that it first checks that there is sufficient space in this buffer and it is potentially much more efficient. If this buffer and the source buffer share the same backing array or memory, then the result will be as if the source elements were first copied to an intermediate location before being written into this buffer.

<br />

<br />

| Parameters ||
|---|---|
| `src` | `ShortBuffer`: The source buffer from which shorts are to be read; must not be this buffer <br /> |

| Returns ||
|---|---|
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/nio/ShortBuffer` | This buffer <br /> |

| Throws ||
|---|---|
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/IllegalArgumentException` | If the source buffer is this buffer |
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/nio/BufferOverflowException` | If there is insufficient space in this buffer for the remaining shorts in the source buffer |
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/nio/ReadOnlyBufferException` | If this buffer is read-only |

```

Absolute bulk *put* method *(optional operation)*.

This method transfers `length` shorts into this buffer from
the given source buffer, starting at the given `offset` in the
source buffer and the given `index` in this buffer. The positions
of both buffers are unchanged.

In other words, an invocation of this method of the form
`dst.put(index, src, offset, length)`
has exactly the same effect as the loop

    for (int i = offset, j = index; i < offset + length; i++, j++)
        dst.put(j, src.get(i));

except that it first checks the consistency of the supplied parameters and it is potentially much more efficient. If this buffer and the source buffer share the same backing array or memory, then the result will be as if the source elements were first copied to an intermediate location before being written into this buffer.

<br />

<br />

### rewind

Added in [API level 1](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)

```
public Buffer rewind ()
```

Rewinds this buffer. The position is set to zero and the mark is
discarded.

Invoke this method before a sequence of channel-write or *get*
operations, assuming that the limit has already been set
appropriately. For example:

> ```
> out.write(buf);    // Write remaining data
> buf.rewind();      // Rewind buffer

### slice

Added in [API level 34](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)

```
public abstract ShortBuffer slice (int index, 
                int length)
```

Creates a new short buffer whose content is a shared subsequence of
this buffer's content.

The content of the new buffer will start at position `index`
in this buffer, and will contain `length` elements. Changes to
this buffer's content will be visible in the new buffer, and vice versa;
the two buffers' position, limit, and mark values will be independent.

The new buffer's position will be zero, its capacity and its limit
will be `length`, its mark will be undefined, and its byte order
will be


identical to that of this buffer.

The new buffer will be direct if, and only if, this buffer is direct,
and it will be read-only if, and only if, this buffer is read-only.

<br />

<br />

| Parameters ||
|---|---|
| `index` | `int`: The position in this buffer at which the content of the new buffer will start; must be non-negative and no larger than `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/nio/Buffer#limit()` <br /> |
| `length` | `int`: The number of elements the new buffer will contain; must be non-negative and no larger than `limit() - index` <br /> |

| Returns ||
|---|---|
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/nio/ShortBuffer` | The new buffer <br /> |

| Throws ||
|---|---|
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/IndexOutOfBoundsException` | If `index` is negative or greater than `limit()`, `length` is negative, or `length > limit() - index` |

### slice

Added in [API level 1](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)

```
public abstract ShortBuffer slice ()
```

Creates a new short buffer whose content is a shared subsequence of
this buffer's content.

The content of the new buffer will start at this buffer's current
position. Changes to this buffer's content will be visible in the new
buffer, and vice versa; the two buffers' position, limit, and mark
values will be independent.

The new buffer's position will be zero, its capacity and its limit
will be the number of shorts remaining in this buffer, its mark will be
undefined, and its byte order will be


identical to that of this buffer.

The new buffer will be direct if, and only if, this buffer is direct, and
it will be read-only if, and only if, this buffer is read-only.

                int length)
```

Wraps a short array into a buffer.

The new buffer will be backed by the given short array;
that is, modifications to the buffer will cause the array to be modified
and vice versa. The new buffer's capacity will be
`array.length`, its position will be `offset`, its limit
will be `offset + length`, its mark will be undefined, and its
byte order will be


the `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/nio/ByteOrder#nativeOrder()` of the underlying
hardware.

Its `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/nio/ShortBuffer#array()` will be the given array, and
its `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/nio/ShortBuffer#arrayOffset()` will be zero.
