.. _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.
