# Byte Values Byte values have the type `Byte`, which corresponds to an unsigned 8-bit integer ranging from 0 to 255. It is generally recommended to use `Int8` instead of `Byte` when performing math operations, however, `Byte`s are used in API methods for `Text` and `Path` that deal with raw binary data, such as `Path.read_bytes()` and `Text.bytes()`. Byte literals can be written using the `Byte()` constructor: `Byte(5)`. # Byte Methods - [`func hex(byte: Byte, uppercase=no, prefix=yes -> Text)`](#hex) - [`func parse(text: Text -> Byte?)`](#parse) - [`func to(first: Byte, last: Byte, step: Int8? = none -> Text)`](#to) --------- ## `hex` TODO: write docs --------- ## `parse` TODO: write docs --------- ## `to` TODO: write docs
