How can I port

Copy code

byte b1 = (byte) 0xAD;
byte b2 = (byte) 0xCA;
short s = (short) (b1<<8 | b2);

Copy code

val b1 = 0xAD.toByte()
val b2 = 0xCA.toByte()
val s = (b1.toInt() shl 8 or b2.toInt()).toShort()

bit shifting operators are only available on

Long

and

Int

. Java casts byte and shorts at compilation, but in Kotlin, is has to be explicit
