 So how do you know which type of integer to use? If you're unsure, Rust's
 defaults are generally good choices, and integer types default to `i32`: it’s
 generally the fastest, even on 64-bit systems. The primary situation in which

-#### The Byte Type
-
-You can work with the bytes of data directly. Byte literals can be created from
-the ASCII characters using `b` and single quotes:
-
-Filename: src/main.rs
-
-```rust
-fn main() {
-    let byte = b'a';
-    println!("byte is {}", byte);
-}
-```
-
-This will print `byte is 97`. Similarly, byte string literals can be created
-using `b` and double quotes, like `b"some byte string"`. Note that since you are
-limited to ASCII characters, it's a best practice to use characters instead of
-bytes when you're working with natural language text.
