Java lang.Long.byteValue() method in Java with Examples


java.lang.Long.byteValue() is a built-in function in Java that returns the value of this Long as a byte.

Syntax:

public byte byteValue()
Parameters: The function does not accept any parameter.
Return :
This method returns the numeric value 
represented by this object after conversion to byte type.

Examples:

Input : 12
Output : 12

Input : 1023
Output : -1
