In this example,

We create a list named list1 containing shorts 1, 2, 2, 3, 4, 4, 5.
We convert list1 to a ShortArray using the toShortArray() extension function.
We print the elements of the shortArray joined into a string to standard output.

Kotlin Program

fun main(args: Array<String>) {
    val list1 = listOf(1.toShort(), 2.toShort(), 2.toShort(), 3.toShort(), 4.toShort(), 4.toShort(), 5.toShort())
    val shortArray = list1.toShortArray()
    println(shortArray.joinToString())
}

Output

1, 2, 2, 3, 4, 4, 5
