| Type | byte | |
| Dimension | 8 bit (1 byte) | |
| Domain | the set of integer numbers in the interval [- 27, + 27 - 1] = [- 128, + 127] | |
| Operations | + | sum |
| - | difference | |
| * | product | |
| / | integer division | |
| % | rest of the integer division | |
| Literals | sequences of digits denoting values of the domain (e.g., 47) | |
Example:
byte a, b, c; // Declaration of variables of type byte
a = 1; // Use of literals
b = Byte.parseByte("47"); // Conversion from String to byte
c = a - b; // Arithmetic expression
