Theere's nothing wrong with BYTE - it is just unsigned char.

It might help if you told us what the errors are.

Hello,

Although I have been using functions extensively in my projects, I never
really tried passing a BYTE type to my functions!

What is it with this BYTE type in C++..... It just doesn't like it!

Please take a look!

THE FOLLOWING FRAGMENT DOES NOT WORK
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
void y(BYTE r);

void main (void)
{
int age;
BYTE n;
y(n);
cin >> age;
}

void y(BYTE r)
{
r=80;
cout << r;
}
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

I get several errors... if neccessary to post them let me know!

If I replace BTYE with int, it works!

Your help is most appreciated!
