title: Under what circumstances would VBA data type "Byte" be useful?
body: <p>Being relatively new to VBA and on the back of advice I've been given on this site, I'm trying to get in the habit of specifying data types when I code. I've been looking at the data types listed on the following webpage and thought about the scenarios in which each data type might be used:</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/office/vba/language/reference/user-interface-help/data-type-summary" rel="noreferrer">https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/office/vba/language/reference/user-interface-help/data-type-summary</a></p>
  
  <p>However, I have a question about how <code>Byte</code> might be used. In which scenarios would it be preferable to use <code>Byte</code> over other data types? In other words: When would a 0 -255 data range be advantageous?</p>
  
  <p>I'm not getting too caught up in data types but definitely curious about this one!</p>
