Number.byteValue() Method in Java with Examples

The java.lang.Number.byteValue() is an inbuilt method in java that returns the value of the specified number as a byte. This may involve rounding or truncation.

Syntax:

public byte byteValue()

Parameters: The method does not take any parameter.

Return value: This method returns the numeric value represented by this object after conversion to type byte.

Below program illustrates the use of Number.byteValue() method:

Program 1:

// Java program to illustrate the
// Number.byteValue() method
public class gfg {

    public static void main(String[] args)
    {

        // Get a number as integer
        Integer x = new Integer(12345786);

        // Print bytevalue()
        System.out.println(x.byteValue());

        // Get a number as float
        Float y = new Float(9145876f);

        // Print bytevalue()
        System.out.println(y.byteValue());
    }
}

Output:

-70
20

Program 2:

// Java program to illustrate the
// Number.byteValue() method
public class gfg {

    public static void main(String[] args)
    {

        // Get a number as integer
        Integer x = new Integer(123);

        // Print  bytevalue()
        System.out.println(x.byteValue());

        // Get a number as float
        Float y = new Float(76f);

        // Print  bytevalue()
        System.out.println(y.byteValue());
    }
}

Output:

123
76
