i2b

i2b

Forms
i2b = 145 (0x91)

Stack
..., value ..., result

Description
The value on the top of the operand stack must be of type int. It is popped from the operand stack, truncated to a byte, then sign-extended to an int result. The result is pushed onto the operand stack.

Notes
The i2b instruction performs a narrowing primitive conversion (§2.6.3). It may lose information about the overall magnitude of value. The result may also not have the same sign as value.
