Byte Class Fields in Java with example

Byte class is a wrapper class for the primitive type byte which contains several methods to effectively deal with a byte value like converting it to a string representation, and vice-versa. An object of Byte class can hold a single byte value.

Byte class offers four constants in the form of Fields. These are:

• MAX_VALUE:The MAX_VALUE is a instance variable of Byte class which is used to return the maximum byte value.

  Syntax:

  
  
  

  public static final byte MAX_VALUE

  Usage:

  Byte.MAX_VALUE

  Return Value: It returns a byte value equal to 127.

  Below is the implementation of MAX_VALUE:

  // Java code to implement
  // MAX_VALUE of Byte class
  
  class GFG {
      public static void main(String[] args)
      {
  
          // byte variable
          byte max_value;
  
          // MAX_VALUE Byte class
          max_value = Byte.MAX_VALUE;
  
          // printing the MAX_VALUE
          System.out.println(max_value);
      }
  }
  Output:

  127
  

• MIN_VALUE:The MIN_VALUE is a instance variable of Byte class which is used to return the minimum byte value.

  Syntax:

  public static final byte MIN_VALUE

  Usage:

  Byte.MIN_VALUE

  Return Value: It returns a byte value equal to -128.

  Below is the implementation of MIN_VALUE:

  // Java code to implement
  // MIN_VALUE of Byte class
  
  class GFG {
      public static void main(String[] args)
      {
  
          // byte variable
          byte min_value;
  
          // MIN_VALUE Byte class
          min_value = Byte.MIN_VALUE;
  
          // printing the MIN_VALUE
          System.out.println(min_value);
      }
  }
  Output:

  -128
  

• SIZE:The SIZE is a instance variable of Byte class which is used to return number of bits required to represent a byte value in binary representation (two’s complement).

  Syntax:

  public static final int SIZE

  Usage:

  Byte.SIZE

  Return Value: It returns a int value equal to 8.

  Below is the implementation of SIZE:

  // Java code to implement
  // SIZE of Byte class
  
  class GFG {
      public static void main(String[] args)
      {
  
          // SIZE Byte class
          int output = Byte.SIZE;
  
          // printing the output
          System.out.println(output);
      }
  }
  Output:

  8
  

• TYPE: The TYPE is a instance variable of Byte class which is used to return Class instance representing the primitive data type byte.

  Syntax:

  public static final Class<Byte> TYPE

  Usage:

  Byte.TYPE

  Return Value: It returns an Class instance representing the primitive data type byte.

  Below is the implementation of TYPE:

  // Java code to implement
  // TYPE of Byte class
  
  class GFG {
      public static void main(String[] args)
      {
  
          // TYPE variable of Byte class
          Class<Byte> output = Byte.TYPE;
  
          // printing the output
          System.out.println(output);
      }
  }
  Output:

  byte
