Representing a number in a byte array (java programming)
- by Mark Roberts
I'm trying to represent the port number 9876 (or 0x2694 in hex) in a two byte array:
class foo {
public static void main (String args[]) {
byte[] sendData = new byte[1];
sendData[0] = 0x26;
sendData[1] = 0x94;
}
}
But I get a warning about possible loss of precision:
foo.java:5: possible loss of precision
found : int
required: byte
sendData[1] = 0x94;
^
1 error
How can I represent the number 9876 in a two byte array without losing precision?
