Explicit conversion to 8-bit integer: CSByte, CByte, shortint

The required type conversion can be carried out as follows:

explicit conversion to 8-bit integer

( type ) expression

Note: In C like languages the data type size may be different depending on compiler and architecture, we show only one standard look.

Compatible programing languages:
C | Visual C++ .NET | C++ | C# | Java

Explicit conversion to 8-bit integer the possible of use:

xmin = -128; ymax = 127;
sbyte x= -5;           // x = -5
sbyte y = -(15 % 4);   // y = -3
y = (sbyte)(x * y);    // z = 15

 CSByte (expr)

Used keywords: csbyte

Compatible programing languages:
Visual Basic .NET

Explicit conversion to 8-bit integer the possible of use:

xmin = -128
 ymax = 127
Dim x As sbyte= -5           ' x = -5
Dim y As sbyte= -(15 mod 4)   ' y = -3
y = CSByte((x * y))    ' z = 15

 CByte (expr)

Used keywords: cbyte

Compatible programing languages:
FreeBASIC

Explicit conversion to 8-bit integer the possible of use:

xmin = -128
 ymax = 127
Dim x As byte= -5           ' x = -5
Dim y As byte= -(15 mod 4)   ' y = -3
y = CByte((x * y))    ' z = 15

 shortint (expr)

Used keywords: shortint

Compatible programing languages:
Pascal | Object Pascal | Free Pascal

Explicit conversion to 8-bit integer the possible of use:

xmin := -128; ymax := 127;
x:= -5;           // x = -5
y:= -(15 mod 4);   // y = -3
y := shortint((x * y));    // z = 15
