Creating file with QB64

With the following

DIM a AS INTEGER
a = 10
OPEN "myFile" FOR BINARY AS #1
PUT #1, 1, a
CLOSE #1

I get a file (myFile) with two bytes (using QB64). The first byte is indeed 0A, but there is a second byte 00.

How can I create a file with just one byte?

Solution

  • Try this

    DIM a AS _UNSIGNED _BYTE
a = 10
OPEN "myFile" FOR BINARY AS #1
PUT #1, 1, a
CLOSE #1

    It seems like INTEGER is 2 bytes.
