 public static final byte MIN_VALUE

The minimum value a Byte can have.

 public static final byte MAX_VALUE

The maximum value a Byte can have.

 public static final Class TYPE

The Class object representing the primitive type byte.

 public Byte(byte value)

Constructs a Byte object initialized to the specified byte value.

Parameters:

value - the initial value of the Byte

 public Byte(String s) throws 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.

 public static String toString(byte b)

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

Parameters:

b - the byte to be converted

 public static byte parseByte(String s) throws 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.

 public static byte parseByte(String s,
                              int radix) throws 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.

 public static Byte valueOf(String s,
                            int radix) throws 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.

 public static Byte valueOf(String s) throws 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.

 public static Byte decode(String nm) throws NumberFormatException

Decodes a String into a Byte. The String may represent decimal, hexadecimal, and octal numbers.

Parameters:

nm - the string to decode
