Java - Byte toString() method

---

---

Description

The Java Byte toString() returns a String object representing this Byte's value. The value is converted to signed decimal representation and returned as a string, exactly as if the byte value were given as an argument to the toString(byte) method.

Declaration

Following is the declaration for java.lang.Byte.toString() method

public String toString()

Overrides

toString in class Object

Parameters

NA

Return Value

This method returns a string representation of the value of this object in base 10.

Exception

NA

Example 1

The following example shows the usage of Byte toString() method with Byte object created using new operator. We're creating two Byte variables and assigned them Byte object created using new operator. Then we're getting string representation of byte variables using toString() method and then result is printed.

package com.tutorialspoint;
public class ByteDemo {
   public static void main(String[] args) {

      // create 2 Byte objects b1, b2
      Byte b1, b2;

      // assign values to b1, b2
      b1 = new Byte("100");
      b2 = new Byte("-100");

      String str1 = "String representation of Byte " + b1 + " is " + b1.toString();
      String str2 = "String representation of Byte " + b2 + " is " + b2.toString();

      // print i1, i2 values
      System.out.println( str1 );
      System.out.println( str2 );
   }
}

Output

Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result −

String representation of Byte 100 is 100
String representation of Byte -100 is -100

Example 2

The following example shows the usage of Byte toString() method with Byte object created using valueOf(String) operator. We're creating two Byte variables and assigned them Byte object created using valueOf(String) method. Then we're getting string representation of byte variables using toString() method and then result is printed.

package com.tutorialspoint;
public class ByteDemo {
   public static void main(String[] args) {

      // create 2 Byte objects b1, b2
      Byte b1, b2;

      // assign values to b1, b2
      b1 = Byte.valueOf("100");
      b2 = Byte.valueOf("-100");

      String str1 = "String representation of Byte " + b1 + " is " + b1.toString();
      String str2 = "String representation of Byte " + b2 + " is " + b2.toString();

      // print i1, i2 values
      System.out.println( str1 );
      System.out.println( str2 );
   }
}

Output

Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result −

String representation of Byte 100 is 100
String representation of Byte -100 is -100

Example 3

The following example shows the usage of Byte toString() method with Byte object created using valueOf(byte) operator. We're creating two Byte variables and assigned them Byte object created using valueOf(byte) method. Then we're getting string representation of byte variables using toString() method and then result is printed.

package com.tutorialspoint;
public class ByteDemo {
   public static void main(String[] args) {

      // create 2 Byte objects b1, b2
      Byte b1, b2;

      // assign values to b1, b2
      b1 = Byte.valueOf((byte)100);
      b2 = Byte.valueOf((byte)-100);

      String str1 = "String representation of Byte " + b1 + " is " + b1.toString();
      String str2 = "String representation of Byte " + b2 + " is " + b2.toString();

      // print i1, i2 values
      System.out.println( str1 );
      System.out.println( str2 );
   }
}

Output

Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result −

String representation of Byte 100 is 100
String representation of Byte -100 is -100
