Int8 Class

An Int8 is an intrinsic data type in REALbasic. It is a signed integer that uses one byte of storage.

It has a range of -128 to 127. The default value of an Int8 is 0.

REALbasic offers both signed and unsigned integer data types that use one, two, four, or eight bytes of memory. The following table summaries these data types.

Data Type | Number of Bytes | Range
--- | --- | ---
Int8 or Byte | 1 | -128 to 127
Int16 | 2 | -32,768 to 32,767
Int32 or Integer | 4 | -2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647
Int64 | 8 | -2^63 to 2^63-1
UInt8 | 1 | 0 to 255
UInt16 | 2 | 0 to 65535
UInt32 | 4 | 0 to 4,294,967,295
UInt64 | 8 | 0 to 2^64-1
