Name | ### byte()
Examples |
    char c = 'E';
    byte b = byte(c);
    println(c + " : " + b);  // Prints "E : 69"

    int i = 130;
    b = byte(i);
    println(i + " : " + b);  // Prints "130 : -126"
Description | Converts a primitive datatype or array to its byte representation. A byte can only be a whole number between -128 and 127, therefore when a number outside this range is converted, its value wraps to the corresponding byte representation.
