Question

if (Class51.aBoolean5331) {
  int i_11_ = -1;
  if ((Class174.clientCycle % 30 ^ 0xFFFFFFFF) < -16) {
    i_11_ = 16777215;
  }
  byte b = -118;
  graphicstoolkit.method1243(12, i_2_ + 350 - Class262_Sub15_Sub1.aClass357_10524.anInt4442 + -11, i_11_, Class262_Sub15_Sub1.aClass357_10524.method4033(-6, "--> " + Class188_Sub2_Sub2.method1914(Node_Sub10.aString7081, b).substring(0, Class315.anInt4034)) + 10 + i_1_, 2);
}

That’s my current code and when I compile it’s giving me this error:

Actual argument int cannot be converted to byte by method invocation conversion

Answer 1

“Actual argument int cannot be converted to byte by method invocation conversion”.

What this means is that you are passing an int into a method that requires a byte. If you have a method like this –

public void doSomething(byte b) { }

and you call it like this –

doSomething(35); // error.

it will give a compile time error, because the literal 35 is an int and not a byte. An int cannot be converted to a byte by passing it as a method argument. That’s what your error is. Somewhere in your code, a method is accepting a byte, but you are passing an int to it.
