UByte(value)
UByte:UInt8(value)

Returns: The UByte.

Description

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

Converts a number or a text to a UByte, an 8-bit integer from 0 to 255. This is a BlitzLLVM extension: the originals only know Int and Float. A whole number that is too large or below 0 keeps its lowest 8 bits (UByte(-1) is 255), a real is rounded to the nearest whole number (halves go to the even one) and stops at 0 or 255 if it is outside. Use SatUByte to stop whole numbers at 0 and 255 as well.

Differences

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