The 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
.

Parses the string argument as a signed byte

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
'-'
