C# SByte Parse(String)

Description

SByte Parse(String) converts the string representation of a number to its 8-bit signed integer equivalent.

Syntax

SByte.Parse(String) has the following syntax.


[CLSCompliantAttribute(false)]
public static sbyte Parse(
  string s
)

Parameters

SByte.Parse(String) has the following parameters.

s - A string that represents a number to convert. The string is interpreted using the NumberStyles.Integer style.

Returns

SByte.Parse(String) method returns An 8-bit signed integer that is equivalent to the number contained in the s parameter.

Example

The following example demonstrates how to convert a string value into a signed byte value using the Parse method.

using System;
public class MainClass{
  public static void Main(String[] argv){  
    string[] values = { "-16", "  -3", "+ 12", " +12 ", "  12  ",
                        "+120", "(103)", "192", "-160" };
    
    // Parse each string and display the result. 
    foreach (string value in values)
    {
       try {
          Console.WriteLine("Converted '{0}' to the SByte value {1}.",
                            value, SByte.Parse(value));
       }
       catch (FormatException) {
          Console.WriteLine("'{0}' cannot be parsed successfully by SByte type.",
                            value);
       }                              
       catch (OverflowException) {
          Console.WriteLine("'{0}' is out of range of the SByte type.",
                            value);
       }                                                                        
    }

  }
}

The code above generates the following result.
