1l for long, 1f for float, 1d for double, what about byte?

Question

1l for long, 1f for float, 1d for double, what about byte?

long l = 1l;
float f = 1f;
double d = 1d;
// byte b = 1?;

What's the equivalent for byte? Does it exist?

Answer 1

No, there is no suffix you can append to a numeric literal to make it a byte.

See 3.10 Literals in the Java Language Specification.

Answer 2

You need to cast to byte like this:

byte b = 1;

b = (byte) 5;

Since by default these numeric constant are treated as int in Java.
