LoByte
Gets the least-significant byte (LSB, or lo-byte) of an UInteger value.
result = LoByte( expr )
This macro converts the numeric expression expr to an UInteger value, then expands to an UInteger representing the value of its LSB.
The output would look like:

Usage

Description
This macro converts the numeric expression expr to an UInteger value, then expands to an UInteger representing the value of its LSB.
Example
Dim N As UInteger
'Note there are 16 bits
N = &b1010101110000001
Print "N is "; N
Print "The binary representation of N is "; Bin(N)
Print "The most significant byte (MSB) of N is "; HiByte(N)
Print "The least significant byte (LSB) of N is "; LoByte(N)
Print "The binary representation of the MSB is "; Bin(HiByte(N))
Print "The binary representation of the LSB is "; Bin(LoByte(N))
Sleep
'Note there are 16 bits
N = &b1010101110000001
Print "N is "; N
Print "The binary representation of N is "; Bin(N)
Print "The most significant byte (MSB) of N is "; HiByte(N)
Print "The least significant byte (LSB) of N is "; LoByte(N)
Print "The binary representation of the MSB is "; Bin(HiByte(N))
Print "The binary representation of the LSB is "; Bin(LoByte(N))
Sleep
The output would look like:
N Is 43905 The Binary representation of N Is 1010101110000001 The most significant Byte (MSB) of N Is 171 The least significant Byte (LSB) of N Is 129 The Binary representation of the MSB Is 10101011 The Binary representation of the LSB Is 10000001
