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
