push one-byte signed integer
Bytecode
Type | Description |
u1 | bipush opcode = 0x10 (16) |
u2 | <n> |
Description
bipush takes a single parameter, <n> (an 8-bit signed integer), sign extends it to a 32-bit int, and pushes the resulting int value onto the operand stack. bipush is typically more efficient than ldc. It also occupies fewer bytes in the class file.
