# Byte

A **Byte** **Data Type** represents a numerical value. More specifically, a *whole, precise* number between -128 and 127.

The advantage of using **Bytes** over [**Ints** ](/incari-studio/2021.4/getting-started/data-types/int.md)is that they are much more lightweight in terms of size, so are preferable when only a small range is needed.
