title: If byte is 8 bit integer then how can we set it to 255?

    <p>The byte keyword denotes an integral

  <p>If it's only 8 bits then how can we assign it to equal 255?</p>
  
  <pre><code>byte myByte = 255;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I thought 8 bits was the same thing as just one character?</p>
