Int8 Data Type

Holds signed 8-bit (1-byte) integer values in the range −128 – +127.

Instructions

Default value
When you declare a variable of type Int8 and do not initialize it, its default value is zero (0).
Automatic conversions
Int8 widens to Int16, Int32, Int64, Int128, Real32, Real64, or Real128 without risk of overflow.
Type characters
You can put the suffix i8 (or I8) on the end of an integer literal. But there are no type characters for names.

Shared methods and properties

Int8.Default As Int8
Returns the default value, 0.
Int8.Max As Int8

Int8.Min As Int8

Int8.Parse(str As String, Optional #format As Format) As Int8
