public final class Byte extends Number implements Comparable<Byte>
Byte class wraps a value of primitive type byte
in an object. An object of type Byte contains a single
field whose type is byte.
In addition, this class provides several methods for converting
a byte to a String and a String to a byte, as well as other constants and methods useful when dealing
with a byte.

Byte instance representing the specified

If a new Byte instance is not required, this method
should generally be used in preference to the constructor

significantly better space and time performance since
all byte values are cached.b - a byte value.Byte instance representing b.public static byte parseByte(String s, int radix) throws NumberFormatException
byte in the
radix specified by the second argument. The characters in the
string must all be digits, of the specified radix (as
determined by whether Character.digit(char,
int) returns a nonnegative value) except that the first
character may be an ASCII minus sign '-'
('\u002D') to indicate a negative value or an
ASCII plus sign '+' ('\u002B') to
indicate a positive value. The resulting byte value is
returned.
An exception of type NumberFormatException is
thrown if any of the following situations occurs:
null or is a string of
length zero.

byte. The characters in the string must all be decimal digits,
except that the first character may be an ASCII minus sign
'-' ('\u002D') to indicate a negative
value or an ASCII plus sign '+'
('\u002B') to indicate a positive value. The
resulting byte value is returned, exactly as if the
argument and the radix 10 were given as arguments to the parseByte(java.lang.String, int) method.s - a String containing the

Byte object holding the value
extracted from the specified String when parsed
with the radix given by the second argument. The first argument
is interpreted as representing a signed byte in
the radix specified by the second argument, exactly as if the
argument were given to the parseByte(java.lang.String,
int) method. The result is a Byte object that
represents the byte value specified by the string.
In other words, this method returns a Byte object
equal to the value of:

Byte object holding the value

interpreted as representing a signed decimal byte,
exactly as if the argument were given to the parseByte(java.lang.String) method. The result is a
Byte object that represents the byte
value specified by the string.
In other words, this method returns a Byte object
equal to the value of:

the following grammar:

The sequence of characters following an optional
sign and/or radix specifier ("0x", "0X",
"#", or leading zero) is parsed as by the Byte.parseByte method with the indicated radix (10, 16, or 8).
This sequence of characters must represent a positive value or
a NumberFormatException will be thrown. The result is
negated if first character of the specified String is
the minus sign. No whitespace characters are permitted in the
String.

int by an unsigned
conversion. In an unsigned conversion to an int, the
high-order 24 bits of the int are zero and the
low-order 8 bits are equal to the bits of the byte argument.
Consequently, zero and positive byte values are mapped
to a numerically equal int value and negative byte values are mapped to an int value equal to the
input plus 28.x - the value to convert to an unsigned intint by an unsigned
conversionpublic static long toUnsignedLong(byte x)
long by an unsigned
conversion. In an unsigned conversion to a long, the
high-order 56 bits of the long are zero and the
low-order 8 bits are equal to the bits of the byte argument.
Consequently, zero and positive byte values are mapped
to a numerically equal long value and negative byte values are mapped to a long value equal to the
input plus 28.x - the value to convert to an unsigned longlong by an unsigned
