How too make output uint8 16

Variable 'as' must be used!

[Peter O]

Use an explicit cast?

as = uint8(16)

as = uint8 16

Answer 1

[Steven Lord]

as = 10;
y = uint8(hex2dec(string(as)))

y = uint8 16

That 0x followed by hex digits syntax is for defining literals, much like you'd type:

q = 1e4

q = 10000

r = 3+4i

r = 3.0000 + 4.0000i

It cannot be used with variables.
