CUBYTE
Converts numeric or string expression to an unsigned byte (Ubyte)
Syntax:
Usage:
result = Cubyte( numeric expression )
result = Cubyte( string expression )
result = Cubyte( user defined type )
result = Cubyte( string expression )
result = Cubyte( user defined type )
Parameters:
expression
a numeric, string, or pointer expression to cast to a Ubyte value
datatype
any numeric, string, or pointer data type
typename
a user defined type
Return Value:
A Ubyte value.
Description:
The Cubyte function rounds off the decimal part and returns a 8-bit Ubyte value. The function does not check for an overflow, and results are undefined for values which are less than 0 or larger than 255.
The name can be explained as 'Convert to Unsigned Byte'.
If the argument is a string expression, it is converted to numeric by using Valuint.

Examples:
' Using the CUBYTE function to convert a numeric value
'Create an UNSIGNED BYTE variable
Dim numeric_value As UByte
'Convert a numeric value
numeric_value = CUByte(123.55)
'Print the result, should return 124
Print numeric_value
Sleep
'Create an UNSIGNED BYTE variable
Dim numeric_value As UByte
'Convert a numeric value
numeric_value = CUByte(123.55)
'Print the result, should return 124
Print numeric_value
Sleep
