byte is a keyword which designates
the 8 bit signed integer primitive type.
The java.lang.Byte class is the nominal
wrapper class when you need to store a byte value
but an object reference is required.
Syntax:
byte <variable-name> = <integer-value>;
For example:
Computer code
byteb=65;
or
Computer code
byteb='A';
The number 65 is the code for 'A' in ASCII.
