    TYPE=Class 

The Class object representing the primitive type byte.

    method Byte(value=byte) public 

Constructs a Byte object initialized to the specified byte value.

Parameters:

value - the initial value of the Byte

    method Byte(s=String) public Signals NumberFormatException

Constructs a Byte object initialized to the value specified by the String parameter. The radix is assumed to be 10.

Parameters:

s - the String to be converted to a Byte

Throws: NumberFormatException

If the String does not contain a parsable byte.

    method toString(b=byte) returns String public  static   

Returns a new String object representing the specified Byte. The radix is assumed to be 10.

Parameters:

b - the byte to be converted

    method parseByte(s=String) returns byte public  static   Signals NumberFormatException

Assuming the specified String represents a byte, returns that byte's value. Throws an exception if the String cannot be parsed as a byte. The radix is assumed to be 10.

Parameters:

s - the String containing the byte

Throws: NumberFormatException

If the string does not contain a parsable byte.

    method parseByte(s=String, -
                     radix=int) returns byte public  static   Signals NumberFormatException

Assuming the specified String represents a byte, returns that byte's value. Throws an exception if the String cannot be parsed as a byte.

Parameters:

s - the String containing the byte

radix - the radix to be used

Throws: NumberFormatException

If the String does not contain a parsable byte.

    method valueOf(s=String, -
                   radix=int) returns Byte public  static   Signals NumberFormatException

Assuming the specified String represents a byte, returns a new Byte object initialized to that value. Throws an exception if the String cannot be parsed as a byte.

Parameters:

s - the String containing the integer

radix - the radix to be used

Throws: NumberFormatException

If the String does not contain a parsable byte.

    method valueOf(s=String) returns Byte public  static   Signals NumberFormatException

Assuming the specified String represents a byte, returns a new Byte object initialized to that value. Throws an exception if the String cannot be parsed as a byte. The radix is assumed to be 10.

Parameters:

s - the String containing the integer

Throws: NumberFormatException

If the String does not contain a parsable byte.

    method decode(nm=String) returns Byte public  static   Signals NumberFormatException
