Java - min and max byte value (byte range)

In this short article, we would like to show what is min and max byte value in Java.

Quick solution:

Byte in Java is in range from -128 to 127.

byte minValue = Byte.MIN_VALUE;  // -128
byte maxValue = Byte.MAX_VALUE;  //  127

Practical example

Hint: Byte class is located in java.lang package and is imported automatically.

public class Program {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
    
        byte minValue = Byte.MIN_VALUE;  // -128
        byte maxValue = Byte.MAX_VALUE;  //  127

        System.out.println("minValue: " + minValue);  // minValue: -128
        System.out.println("maxValue: " + maxValue);  // maxValue: 127
    }
}

Output:

minValue: -128
maxValue: 127
