some signed byte values:

0x7f -->  127
0x80 --> -128
0x81 --> -127
...
0xfe --> -2
0xff --> -1

0x104 modulo 0xff --> 4

Finally the big step to 64 Bit architecture
Thanks Charles for His great rtl32.inc and rtl64.inc Files :-)

All examples you can find in *.rar folder below
If you have any questions please ask thx, frank

Oh good didn't know yet thx Charles

Found an old freebasic examples with cByte(260)=4 and I didnt understand the result but now... ;)


''CodeSelect
sbyte sb 'signed byte
sb=32
print sb
sb=32.6
print sb 'rounds to 33
sb="-32"
print sb 'auto-convert string -32
sb=255
print sb 'wrap overflow -1
' if that's -1 then 260 it's 4 ?
' why it's 4 as result? => 5 - 1 ? = 4
sb=260
print sb ' 4

Hi Frank,

string-to-number conversion etc is built into Oxygen:

sbyte sb 'signed byte
sb=32
print sb
sb=32.6
print sb 'rounds to 33
sb="-32"
print sb 'auto-convert string -32
sb=255
print sb 'wrap overflow -1

OxygenBasic Examples / CByte
Last post by Frank Brübach - Yesterday at 01:19:19 PM
Hello Charles, do you know cByte?
Its interesting datatype for oxygen too? Its existing in freebasic as converting Data Type

CBYTE
Converts numeric or string expression to Byte.

Syntax:
declare function Cbyte ( byval expression as datatype ) as byte

Type typename
declare operator cast ( ) as byte
End Type

Usage:
result = Cbyte( numeric expression )
result = Cbyte( string expression )
result = Cbyte( user defined type )

Parameters:
expression
A numeric, string, or pointer expression to cast to a Byte value.
datatype
Any numeric, string, or pointer data type.
typename
A user defined type.

Return Value:
A Byte value.

Description:
The Cbyte function rounds off the decimal part and returns a 8-bit Byte value. The function does not check for an overflow, and results are undefined for values which are less than -128 or larger than 127.

The name can be explained as 'Convert to Byte'.

If the argument is a string expression, it is converted to numeric by using Valint.

Examples:
' Using the CBYTE function to convert a numeric value

'Create an BYTE variable
Dim numeric_value As Byte

'Convert a numeric value
numeric_value = CByte(-66.30)

'Print the result, should return -66
Print numeric_value
Sleep
