Byte Addition

[shaba]

Hi,

I want to add two byte variables together and if the resulting value is greater than 255, then i want the sum to be set at 255. So far, i have had no luck at all. i tried setting up a temporary int variable like this:

dim x,y,sum as byte
dim temp as integer

temp = x+y

if temp >255 then
sum = 255
else
sum = temp
end if

but i still get an overflow error. How do i fix this???

You have to do something like this:

  temp = CInt(x) + CInt(y)

[billrogers]

you might have to do

sum = CByte(temp)

Also, I am not positive though
