CUByte
Converts numeric or string expression to an unsigned byte (`UByte`)
Syntax
`
Declare Function CUByte ( ByVal expression As datatype ) As UByte
Type typename
Declare Operator Cast ( ) As UByte
End Type
`
Usage
`
result = CUByte( numeric expression )
result = CUByte( string expression )
result = CUByte( user defined type )
`
Parameters
`expression`
a numeric, string, or pointer expression to cast to a `UByte` value
`datatype`
any numeric, string, or pointer data type
`typename`
a user defined type
Return Value
A `UByte` value.
Description
The `CUByte` function rounds off the decimal part and returns a 8 bit `UByte` value. The function does not check for an overflow, so be sure not to pass a value thats less/larger then 0 to 255. The name can be explained as 'Convert to Unsigned Byte'.
If the argument is a string expression, it is converted to numeric by using `ValUInt`.
Example
`
' Using the CUBYTE function to convert a numeric value
'Create an UNSIGNED BYTE variable
Dim numeric_value As UByte
'Convert a numeric value
numeric_value = CUByte(123.55)
'Print the result, should return 124
Print numeric_value
Sleep
