note that addition of new files under docs/source/lang/api and docs/source/lang/cpp which were just copies of files in docs/source/lang/ imply that change history is lost to git.

-.. _lang-bytecast:
-
-byte() (cast)
-=============
-
-Converts a value to the :ref:`byte <lang-byte>` data type.
-
-.. note::
-
- Casting to the byte type is provided for compatibility with
- Arduino. However, the recommended Maple type for storing an 8-bit
- unsigned integer is ``uint8``. (C and C++ programmers: ``stdint.h``
- is also available).
-
- In order to cast a variable ``x`` to a ``uint8``, the
- following syntax can be used::
-
- uint8(x);
-
-Syntax
-------
-
-``byte(x)``
-
-
-Parameters
-----------
-
-**x**: a value of any integer type
-
-
-Returns
--------
-
-The value, converted to a ``byte``. Note, however, that if the value
-is larger than the maximum value you can store in a byte (255), then
-the results might be strange and unexpected.
