This method is used to convert the value of the specified Decimal to the equivalent 8-bit signed integer. A user can also convert a Decimal value to an 8-bit integer by using the Explicit assignment operator.
Syntax: public static sbyte ToSByte (decimal value); Here, the value is the decimal number which is to be converted. Return Value: It returns a 8-bit signed integer equivalent to the specified value. Exception: This method will give OverflowException if the specified value is less than MinValue or greater than MaxValue.
Below programs illustrate the use of the above-discussed method:
Example 1: csharp
// C# program to demonstrate the
// Decimal.ToSByte() Method
using System;
class GFG {
// Main Method
public static void Main()
{
try {
// Taking decimal variables
Decimal dec1 = 127.5555M;
Decimal dec2 = 04.2996m;
// using Decimal.ToSByte(Decimal) Method
sbyte val1 = Decimal.ToSByte(dec1);
// using Decimal.ToSByte(Decimal) Method
sbyte val2 = Decimal.ToSByte(dec2);
// Printing the SByte value
Console.WriteLine("The SByte value "
+ "is : {0}", val1);
// Printing the SByte value
Console.WriteLine("The SByte value "
+ "is : {0}",val2);
}
catch (OverflowException e)
{
Console.Write("Exception Thrown: ");
Console.Write("{0}", e.GetType(), e.Message);
}
}
}
Output:
The SByte value is : 127 The SByte value is : 4Example 2: csharp
// C# program to demonstrate the
// Decimal.ToSByte() Method
using System;
class GFG {
// Main Method
public static void Main()
{
try {
// taking a decimal number
// above the range of SByte
Decimal dec1 = 129M;
// Taking the maximum value
// of Decimal
Decimal dec2 = Decimal.MaxValue;
// using Decimal.ToSByte(Decimal) Method
// It will give error as decimal number
// is above the range of SByte
sbyte val1 = Decimal.ToSByte(dec1);
// using Decimal.SByte(Decimal) Method
// It will give error as Decimal.MaxValue
// value is out of range from SByte
int val2 = Decimal.ToSByte(dec2);
// Printing the SByte value
Console.WriteLine("The SByte value "
+ "is : {0}",val1);
// Printing the SByte value
Console.WriteLine("The SByte value "
+ "is : {0}", val2);
}
catch (OverflowException e)
{
Console.Write("Exception Thrown: ");
Console.Write("{0}", e.GetType(), e.Message);
}
}
}
Output:
Exception Thrown: System.OverflowExceptionReference:
