Returns the value of this Byte as a byte.

  Compares two Byte objects numerically.

  Compares two Byte objects numerically.
Returns: the value 0 if this Byte is equal to the argument Byte; a value less than 0 if this Byte is numerically less than the argument Byte; and a value greater than 0 if this Byte is numerically greater than the argument Byte (signed comparison).
Parameters:
- anotherByte - the Byte to be compared.
Since: 1.2

  Decodes a String into a Byte.

  Decodes a String into a Byte. Accepts decimal, hexadecimal, and octal numbers given by the following grammar:

DecodableString:

Sign_opt DecimalNumeral

Sign_opt 0x HexDigits

Sign_opt 0X HexDigits

Sign_opt # HexDigits

Sign_opt 0 OctalDigits

Sign:

-

DecimalNumeral, HexDigits, and OctalDigits are defined in §3.10.1 of the Java Language Specification.

The sequence of characters following an (optional) negative 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.
Returns: a Byte object holding the byte value represented by nm
Parameters:
- nm - the String to decode.
Throws:
- NumberFormatException - if the String does not contain a parsable byte.
See Also: Byte.parseByte(java.lang.String, int),

Returns the value of this Byte as a double.

  Compares this object to the specified object.

  Compares this object to the specified object. The result is
true if and only if the argument is not
null and is a Byte object that
contains the same byte value as this object.
Returns: true if the objects are the same; false otherwise.
Parameters:
- obj - the object to compare with

Returns the value of this Byte as a float.

Returns a hash code for this Byte.

Returns the value of this Byte as an int.

Returns the value of this Byte as a long.

  Parses the string argument as a signed decimal byte.

  Parses the string argument as a signed decimal
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. The resulting byte value is
returned, exactly as if the argument and the radix 10 were
given as arguments to the Byte.parseByte(java.lang.String,
int) method.
Returns: the byte value represented by the argument in decimal
Parameters:
- s - a String containing the byte representation to be parsed
Throws:
- NumberFormatException - if the string does not contain a parsable byte.

  Parses the string argument as a signed byte in the radix specified by the second argument.

  Parses the string argument as a signed 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. The resulting byte value is returned.

An exception of type NumberFormatException is thrown if any of the following situations occurs:

• The first argument is null or is a string of length zero.
• The radix is either smaller than Character.MIN_RADIX or larger than Character.MAX_RADIX.
• Any character of the string is not a digit of the specified radix, except that the first character may be a minus sign '-' ('\u002D') provided that the string is longer than length 1.
• The value represented by the string is not a value of type byte.

Returns: the byte value represented by the string argument in the specified radix
Parameters:
- s - the String containing the byte representation to be parsed
- radix - the radix to be used while parsing s
Throws:
- NumberFormatException - If the string does not contain a parsable byte.

Returns the value of this Byte as a short.

  Returns a String object representing this Byte's value.

  Returns a String object representing this
Byte's value. The value is converted to signed
decimal representation and returned as a string, exactly as if
the byte value were given as an argument to the
Byte.toString(byte) method.
Returns: a string representation of the value of this object in base 10.

  Returns a new String object representing the specified byte.

  Returns a new String object representing the
specified byte. The radix is assumed to be 10.
Returns: the string representation of the specified byte
Parameters:
- b - the byte to be converted
See Also: Integer.toString(int),

  Returns a Byte instance representing the specified byte value.

  Returns a Byte instance representing the specified
byte value.
If a new Byte instance is not required, this method
should generally be used in preference to the constructor
Byte.Byte(byte), as this method is likely to yield
significantly better space and time performance by caching
frequently requested values.
Returns: a Byte instance representing b.
Parameters:
- b - a byte value.
Since: 1.5

  Returns a Byte object holding the value given by the specified String.

  Returns a Byte object holding the value given by the specified String. The argument is interpreted as representing a signed decimal byte, exactly as if the argument were given to the Byte.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:

new Byte(Byte.parseByte(s))

Returns: a Byte object holding the value represented by the string argument
Parameters:
- s - the string to be parsed
Throws:
- NumberFormatException - If the String does not contain a parsable byte.

  Returns a Byte object holding the value extracted from the specified String when parsed with the radix given by the second argument.

  Returns a 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 Byte.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:

new Byte(Byte.parseByte(s, radix))

Returns: a Byte object holding the value represented by the string argument in the specified radix.
Parameters:
- s - the string to be parsed
- radix - the radix to be used in interpreting s
Throws:
- NumberFormatException - If the String does not contain a parsable byte.
