byte() (cast)¶
Converts a value to the byte data type.
Note
Casting to the byte type is provided for compatibility with Arduino. However, the recommended Maple type for storing an 8-bit unsigned integer is uint8. (C and C++ programmers: stdint.h is also available).
In order to cast a variable x to a uint8, the following syntax can be used:
uint8(x);
Syntax¶
byte(x)
Parameters¶
x: a value of any integer type
Returns¶
The value, converted to a byte. Note, however, that if the value is larger than the maximum value you can store in a byte (255), then the results might be strange and unexpected.
