@CheckReturnValue @GwtCompatible public final class SignedBytes extends Object
byte primitives that
 interpret values as signed. The corresponding methods that treat the values
 as unsigned are found in UnsignedBytes, and the methods for which
 signedness is not an issue are in Bytes.
 See the Guava User Guide article on primitive utilities.

| Modifier and Type | Method and Description | 
|---|---|
| static byte | checkedCast(long value)Returns the  bytevalue that is equal tovalue, if possible. | 
| static int | compare(byte a,
              byte b)Compares the two specified  bytevalues. | 
| static String | join(String separator,
        byte... array)Returns a string containing the supplied  bytevalues separated
 byseparator. | 
| static Comparator<byte[]> | lexicographicalComparator()Returns a comparator that compares two  bytearrays
 lexicographically. | 
| static byte | max(byte... array)Returns the greatest value present in  array. | 
| static byte | min(byte... array)Returns the least value present in  array. | 
| static byte | saturatedCast(long value)Returns the  bytenearest in value tovalue. |

byte.public static byte checkedCast(long value)
byte value that is equal to value, if possible.value - any value in the range of the byte typebyte value that equals valueIllegalArgumentException - if value is greater than Byte.MAX_VALUE or less than Byte.MIN_VALUEpublic static byte saturatedCast(long value)
byte nearest in value to value.value - any long valuebyte if it is in the range of the
     byte type, Byte.MAX_VALUE if it is too large,
     or Byte.MIN_VALUE if it is too smallpublic static int compare(byte a, byte b)
byte values. The sign of the value
 returned is the same as that of ((Byte) a).compareTo(b).
 Note: this method behaves identically to the JDK 7 method Byte.compare(byte, byte).
a - the first byte to compareb - the second byte to comparea is less than b; a positive
     value if a is greater than b; or zero if they are equalpublic static byte min(byte... array)
array.array - a nonempty array of byte valuesarray that is less than or equal to
     every other value in the arrayIllegalArgumentException - if array is emptypublic static byte max(byte... array)
array.array - a nonempty array of byte valuesarray that is greater than or equal to
     every other value in the arrayIllegalArgumentException - if array is emptypublic static String join(String separator, byte... array)
byte values separated
 by separator. For example, join(":", 0x01, 0x02, -0x01)
 returns the string "1:2:-1".separator - the text that should appear between consecutive values in
     the resulting string (but not at the start or end)array - an array of byte values, possibly emptypublic static Comparator<byte[]> lexicographicalComparator()
byte arrays
 lexicographically. That is, it compares, using compare(byte, byte)), the first pair of values that follow any common
 prefix, or when one array is a prefix of the other, treats the shorter
 array as the lesser. For example, [] < [0x01] < [0x01, 0x80] <
 [0x01, 0x7F] < [0x02]. Values are treated as signed.
 The returned comparator is inconsistent with Object.equals(Object) (since arrays support only identity equality), but
 it is consistent with Arrays.equals(byte[], byte[]).
