Program:

            /* ............... START ............... */
                
public class JavaByteExample {
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		byte b = 3;
		Byte bObj1 = new Byte(b);
		Byte bObj2 = new Byte("10");
		// print value of Byte objects
		System.out.println(bObj1);
		System.out.println(bObj2);
	}
}

                /* ............... END ............... */
        

Output

10

Notes:

• Byte data type is a 8-bit signed two's complement integer.
• Byte has minimum value of -128 and a maximum value of 127 (inclusive).
• Default value is 0.
• Byte data type is used to save space in large arrays because byte is four times smaller than an int.
• Example: byte a = 100 , byte b = -20.
• The java.lang.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.
