title: Short to Int conversion
body: <p>I am looking for a way to convert a Short to an Int. I tried to cast it with </p>
  
  <pre><code>short i = 5;
  int t = (int) i;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But this doesn't work. Also in the Short function itself I cannot see something like an toInt() function... </p>
