# byte

The `byte` type stores a 1-byte (8-bit) unsigned integer number, from 0 to 255.

Warning

The `byte` type is provided for compatibility with Arduino. However, it is a non-standard extension. The standard C++ type for storing an 8-bit unsigned integer is `unsigned char`; we recommend using that instead. (Your code will still work on an Arduino).

## Example

    byte b = 134;
