SatByte(value)
SatByte:Int8(value)

Returns: The number, or the closest number of the type if it does not fit.

Description

〔BlitzLLVM〕 This command does not exist in the original Blitz products. BlitzLLVM adds it.

Converts a number or a text to a Byte (-128 to 127) and stops at -128 and 127 instead of wrapping around. This is a BlitzLLVM extension: the originals have no integers of other sizes. A whole number outside the range becomes the closest number of the range, and a real is rounded to the nearest whole number (halves go to the even one) first. A real that is not a number becomes 0. Byte does the same for a real, but wraps whole numbers around.

Differences

• Not in the originals, which have no integers of other sizes.
