I had accidentally made the following error. ABC is a byte and in the program one step is ABC=500.
What will happen? Can this give a wrong result in an other variable?
Kind regards

Re: Byte overflow
Hi Jan.
Arrays can overflow and cause corruption, but writing too large a value to a variable will not, and wrap like this on a byte can even be a way of helping optimise code.
Here 500 = 0x1F4 so when this is clipped to a byte it should equal 0xF4, or 244.
