Byte Values
Byte values have the type Byte
, which corresponds to an
unsigned 8-bit integer ranging from 0 to 255. It is generally recommended to
use Int8
instead of Byte
when performing math
operations, however, Byte
s are used in API methods for
Text
and Path
that deal with raw binary data, such
as Path.read_bytes()
and Text.bytes()
. Byte literals
can be written using the Byte()
constructor:
Byte(5)
.
