How to convert byte array to unsigned short

[Rodie]

Hello ! I tried to find how to convert an array of 2 bytes into an unsigned short (no sign bit), but the solutions I found on the Web don't work

For example, I want that :
input = [1111 1111 0000 0000] (= [255 0] = [LSB MSB])
output = 255 (and not -1 because there is no sign bit)

Thanks for your help !

There is no unsigned short in java.
Either you take the next bigger data-type, or live with signed shorts, or can be sure, the highest bit is never set.
