Shorts.concat() is a method of Shorts class in Guava library which is used to concatenate the values of multiple arrays into a single array. For example, concat(new short[] {a, b}, new short[] {}, new short[] {c} returns the array {a, b, c}.

Syntax :

public static short[] concat(short[]... arrays)

Here, arrays represent zero or more short arrays.

Return Value: A single array containing all the values from the source arrays, in order.

Example-1:

// Java code to show implementation of
// Guava's Shorts.concat() method
import com.google.common.primitives.Shorts;
import java.util.Arrays;
  
class GFG {
    // Driver's code
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        // Creating 2 short arrays
        short[] arr1 = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 };
        short[] arr2 = { 6, 2, 7, 0, 8 };
  
        // Using Shorts.concat() method to combine
        // elements from both arrays into a single array
        short[] res = Shorts.concat(arr1, arr2);
  
        // Displaying the single combined array
        System.out.println(Arrays.toString(res));
    }
}

Output:

[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 2, 7, 0, 8]

Example-2:

// Java code to show implementation of
// Guava's Shorts.concat() method
import com.google.common.primitives.Shorts;
import java.util.Arrays;
  
class GFG {
    // Driver's code
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        // Creating 4 short arrays
        short[] arr1 = { 1, 2, 3 };
        short[] arr2 = { 4, 5 };
        short[] arr3 = { 6, 7, 8 };
        short[] arr4 = { 9, 0 };
  
        // Using Shorts.concat() method to combine
        // elements from both arrays into a single array
        short[] res = Shorts.concat(arr1, arr2, arr3, arr4);
  
        // Displaying the single combined array
        System.out.println(Arrays.toString(res));
    }
}
