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

Last Updated : 23 May, 2019

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

The program below illustrates the java.lang.Long.byteValue() function: Program 1 :

java

// Java program that demonstrates the use of
// Long.byteValue() function

// include lang package
import java.lang.*;

public class GFG {

    public static void main(String[] args)
    {

        Long value = 1023l;

        // returns the value of Long as a byte
        byte byteValue = value.byteValue();
        System.out.println("Byte Value of num = " + byteValue);

        // 2nd example
        value = 12l;
        byteValue = value.byteValue();
        System.out.println("Byte Value of num = " + byteValue);
    }
}

Output:

Byte Value of num = -1
Byte Value of num = 12

Program 2 : Demonstrates the byte value of a negative number

java

// Java program that demonstrates the use of
// Long.byteValue() function
// negative number

// include lang package
import java.lang.*;

public class GFG {

    public static void main(String[] args)
    {

        Long value = -1023l;

        // returns the value of Long as a byte
        byte byteValue = value.byteValue();
        System.out.println("Byte Value of num = " + byteValue);

        // 2nd example
        value = -12l;
        byteValue = value.byteValue();
        System.out.println("Byte Value of num = " + byteValue);
    }
}

Output:

Byte Value of num = 1
Byte Value of num = -12

Program 3 : When a decimal value is passed in argument.

java

// Java program that demonstrates the use of
// Long.byteValue() function
// decimal number

// include lang package
import java.lang.*;

public class GFG {

    public static void main(String[] args)
    {

        Long value = 11.24;

        // returns the value of Long as a byte
        byte byteValue = value.byteValue();
        System.out.println("Byte Value of num = " + byteValue);
    }
}

Output:

prog.java:13: error: incompatible types: double cannot be converted to Long
        Long value = 11.24;

Program 4 : When a string value is passed in argument.

java

// Java program that demonstrates the use of
// Long.byteValue() function
// string number

// include lang package
import java.lang.*;

public class GFG {

    public static void main(String[] args)
    {

        Long value = "24";

        // returns the value of Long as a byte
        byte byteValue = value.byteValue();
        System.out.println("Byte Value of num = " + byteValue);
    }
}

Output:

prog.java:13: error: incompatible types: String cannot be converted to Long
        Long value = "24";
