| Name | byte() |
|---|---|
| Examples | char c = 'E'; byte b = byte(c); println(c + " : " + b); // Prints "E : 69" int i = 130; b = byte(i); println(i + " : " + b); // Prints "130 : -126" |
| Description | Converts a primitive datatype or array to its byte representation. A byte can only be a whole number between -128 and 127, therefore when a number outside this range is converted, its value wraps to the corresponding byte representation. |
