Byte

The {@code Byte} class wraps a value of primitive type {@code byte} in an object. An object of type {@code Byte} contains a single field whose type is {@code byte}.

In addition, this class provides several methods for converting a {@code byte} to a {@code string} and a {@code string} to a {@code byte}, as well as other constants and methods useful when dealing with a {@code byte}.

Constructors

this this(byte value): Constructs a newly allocated {@code Byte} object that represents the specified {@code byte} value.
this this(int value): Undocumented in source.

Members

Functions

toHash size_t toHash(): Returns a hash code for a {@code byte} value; compatible with {@code Byte.hashCode()}.

Static functions

parseByte byte parseByte(string s): Undocumented in source. Be warned that the author may not have intended to support it.
toUnsignedInt int toUnsignedInt(byte x): Converts the argument to an {@code int} by an unsigned conversion. In an unsigned conversion to an {@code int}, the high-order 24 bits of the {@code int} are zero and the low-order 8 bits are equal to the bits of the {@code byte} argument.
toUnsignedLong long toUnsignedLong(byte x): Converts the argument to a {@code long} by an unsigned conversion. In an unsigned conversion to a {@code long}, the high-order 56 bits of the {@code long} are zero and the low-order 8 bits are equal to the bits of the {@code byte} argument.

Static variables

MAX_VALUE byte MAX_VALUE;: A constant holding the maximum value a {@code byte} can have, 27-1.
MIN_VALUE byte MIN_VALUE;: A constant holding the minimum value a {@code byte} can have, -27.

Variables

BYTES enum int BYTES;: The number of bytes used to represent a {@code byte} value in two's complement binary form.
SIZE enum int SIZE;: The number of bits used to represent a {@code byte} value in two's complement binary form.
