C# Byte Struct

Last Updated : 31 Jan, 2025

In C#, Byte Struct is used to represent 8-bit unsigned integers. The Byte is an immutable value type and the range of Byte is from 0 to 255. This class allows us to create Byte data types and we can perform mathematical and bitwise operations on them like addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, XOR, AND etc.

Fields

MaxValue: It is the largest possible value of a Byte. This field is constant.
MinValue: It is the smallest possible value of a Byte. This field is constant.

Example:

// C# program to illustrate MaxValue and MinValue fields in Byte
using System;

public class Geeks
{
    static public void Main()
    {
        // Display the minimum and maximum value of Byte
        Console.WriteLine("The minimum value of Byte: {0}"
                          , Byte.MinValue);
        Console.WriteLine("The maximum value of Byte: {0}"
                          , Byte.MaxValue);
    }
}

Output

The minimum value of Byte: 0
The maximum value of Byte: 255

Methods

Method	Description
CompareTo(Object)	Compares the current instance to a specified object and returns a sign of their relative values.
CompareTo(Byte)	Compares this instance to a specified 8-bit unsigned integer and returns an indication of their relative values.
Equals(Object)	To get a value which indicates whether the current instance is equal to a specified object or not.
Equals(Byte)	Returns a value indicating whether this instance and a specified Byte object represent the same value.
GetHashCode()	Returns the hash code for this instance.
GetTypeCode()	Returns the TypeCode for value type Byte.
Parse()	Converts the string representation of a number to its Byte equivalent.
ToString()	Converts the value of the current Byte object to its equivalent string representation.
TryParse()	Tries to convert the string representation of a number to its Byte equivalent, and returns a value that indicates whether the conversion succeeded.
BitConverter.GetBytes(Byte)	Converts a Byte value into a byte array.
Convert.ToByte(Object)	Converts an object to a byte, if possible.

Example: Using CompareTo(Byte)

// C# program to illustrate the CompareTo(Byte) method
using System;

public class Geeks
{
    static public void Main()
    {
        // Byte values for comparison
        byte val1 = 32;
        byte val2 = 40;
        byte val3 = 10;

        // Display the comparison using 
        // CompareTo(Byte) method
        Console.WriteLine("Comparison 1: {0}"
                          , val1.CompareTo(val2));
        Console.WriteLine("Comparison 2: {0}"
                          , val2.CompareTo(val3));
        Console.WriteLine("Comparison 3: {0}"
                          , val3.CompareTo(val3)); 
        Console.WriteLine("Comparison 4: {0}"
                          , val1.CompareTo(val3)); 
    }
}

Output

Comparison 1: -8
Comparison 2: 30
Comparison 3: 0
Comparison 4: 22
