C# Byte Struct
In C#, Byte Struct is used to represent 8-bit unsigned integers. The Byte is an immutable value type and the range of Byte is from 0 to 255. This class allows us to create Byte data types and we can perform mathematical and bitwise operations on them like addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, XOR, AND etc.
Fields
- MaxValue: It is the largest possible value of a Byte. This field is constant.
- MinValue: It is the smallest possible value of a Byte. This field is constant.
Example:
// C# program to illustrate MaxValue and MinValue fields in Byte
using System;
public class Geeks
{
static public void Main()
{
// Display the minimum and maximum value of Byte
Console.WriteLine("The minimum value of Byte: {0}"
, Byte.MinValue);
Console.WriteLine("The maximum value of Byte: {0}"
, Byte.MaxValue);
}
}
Output
The minimum value of Byte: 0 The maximum value of Byte: 255
Methods
Method | Description |
|---|---|
Compares the current instance to a specified object and returns a sign of their relative values. | |
| Compares this instance to a specified 8-bit unsigned integer and returns an indication of their relative values. | |
To get a value which indicates whether the current instance is equal to a specified object or not. | |
| Returns a value indicating whether this instance and a specified Byte object represent the same value. | |
Returns the hash code for this instance. | |
| Returns the TypeCode for value type Byte. | |
Parse() | Converts the string representation of a number to its Byte equivalent. |
| Converts the value of the current Byte object to its equivalent string representation. | |
TryParse() | Tries to convert the string representation of a number to its Byte equivalent, and returns a value that indicates whether the conversion succeeded. |
BitConverter.GetBytes(Byte) | Converts a Byte value into a byte array. |
Convert.ToByte(Object) | Converts an object to a byte, if possible. |
Example: Using CompareTo(Byte)
// C# program to illustrate the CompareTo(Byte) method
using System;
public class Geeks
{
static public void Main()
{
// Byte values for comparison
byte val1 = 32;
byte val2 = 40;
byte val3 = 10;
// Display the comparison using
// CompareTo(Byte) method
Console.WriteLine("Comparison 1: {0}"
, val1.CompareTo(val2));
Console.WriteLine("Comparison 2: {0}"
, val2.CompareTo(val3));
Console.WriteLine("Comparison 3: {0}"
, val3.CompareTo(val3));
Console.WriteLine("Comparison 4: {0}"
, val1.CompareTo(val3));
}
}
Output
Comparison 1: -8 Comparison 2: 30 Comparison 3: 0 Comparison 4: 22
