怎样将int转换为byte

一个int占用4个byte，所以需要声明一个4位长度的byte数组

public byte[] int2Byte2(int i) {
        byte[] bytes = new byte[4];
        bytes[0] = (byte) ((i >> 24) & 0xff);
        bytes[1] = (byte) ((i >> 16) & 0xff);
        bytes[2] = (byte) ((i >> 8) & 0xff);
        bytes[3] = (byte) (i & 0xff);
        return bytes;
    }

i的值	1	类型转换byte后
原码	0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0001
>>24	0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000	0000 0000
>>16	0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000	0000 0000
>>8	0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000	0000 0000

0xff：0x表示16进制，后边的ff表示15*15=255，也就是1111 1111，当进行&操作时，会先将自己补位（变为int类型），也就是 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 1111 1111

这里是先进行移位再进行&操作，最后进行强转byte，此处我认为进行&操作是没必要的，因为&操作的主要目的就是将低八位以外的位置进行置0操作，但是进行强制类型转换byte后，只需要保留低八位，那么其余位置的数据是有没有置0，又有什么关系呢。

但是看到了一块apache的源码进行转换时，也进行了&操作，所以到底什么场景会用到&操作呢？
