Is there some better form than .toByte() for case below?

Copy code

val myVal: Byte
...
if(myVal != 0.toByte()) {}

you could do

byte.compareTo(0) != 0

, but i don't really think it's better

you avoid the

toByte()

though ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

You could make a

val Int.b get() = toByte()

or something similar to do

if(myVal != 0.b)

, not sure if that's a good approach
