CUByte

Converts a number or string to a UByte, rounding to the nearest; no overflow check.

Syntax

Declare Function CUByte ( ByVal expression As datatype ) As UByte
Type typename
Declare Operator Cast ( ) As UByte
End Type

Parameters

• expression
• datatype
• typename

Description

The CUByte function rounds off the decimal part and returns a 8-bit UByte value. The function does not check for an overflow, and results are undefined for values which are less than 0 or larger than 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.

Return Value

A UByte value.

Remarks

Usage

result = CUByte( numeric expression )

result = CUByte( string expression )

result = CUByte( user defined type )
