Converts the argument to an {@code int} by an unsigned
conversion. In an unsigned conversion to an {@code int}, the
high-order 16 bits of the {@code int} are zero and the
low-order 16 bits are equal to the bits of the {@code short} argument.
Consequently, zero and positive {@code short} values are mapped
to a numerically equal {@code int} value and negative {@code
short} values are mapped to an {@code int} value equal to the
input plus 2<sup>16</sup>.
