Representing a single byte
<p>A single <code>byte</code> takes up <strong>four bytes</strong> of space inside the Java virtual machine(<em>32 bit processor</em>).</p>

<p>Yes,we can use an array of byte which would occupy only the amount of space it actually needs. But I want to use a single byte <strong>not</strong> an array of bytes.</p>

<p>So,is there any <strong>type</strong> in <code>Java</code> to represent an <strong>8 bit datum</strong>.</p>
