Byte byteValue() method in Java with examples

The byteValue method of Byte class is a built in method in Java which is used to return the value of this Byte object as byte.

Syntax

ByteObject.byteValue()

Return Value: It returns the value of ByteObject as byte.

Below is the implementation of byteValue() method in Java:

Example 1:

// Java code to demonstrate
// Byte byteValue() method

class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {

        // byte value
        byte a = 17;

        // wrapping the byte value
        // in the wrapper class Byte
        Byte b = new Byte(a);

        // byteValue of the Byte Object
        byte output = b.byteValue();

        // printing the output
        System.out.println("Byte value of "
                           + a + " is : " + output);
    }
}

Output:

Byte value of 17 is : 17

Example 2:

// Java code to demonstrate
// Byte byteValue() method

class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {

        String value = "17";

        // wrapping the byte value
        // in the wrapper class Byte
        Byte b = new Byte(value);

        // byteValue of the Byte Object
        byte output = b.byteValue();

        // printing the output
        System.out.println("Byte value of "
                           + b + " is : " + output);
    }
}

Output:

Byte value of 17 is : 17
