.. highlight:: cpp .. _lang-byte: byte ==== The ``byte`` type stores a 1-byte (8-bit) unsigned integer number, from 0 to 255. .. warning:: The ``byte`` type is provided for compatibility with Arduino. However, it is a non-standard extension. The standard C++ type for storing an 8-bit unsigned integer is ``unsigned char``; we recommend using that instead. (Your code will still work on an Arduino). Example ------- :: byte b = 134; See Also -------- - :ref:`byte() <lang-bytecast>` (casting a value to a byte) - :ref:`Variables <lang-variables>` .. include:: /arduino-cc-attribution.txt
