Easy Question, 'calling' a method with a number

Question

Here is a bit of code
public class RollDice {
    public int x = 0;
    public RollDice(byte numberOfDice) {
        x = numberOfDice;
}and another bit...
public class RollDiceDemo {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        RollDice currentRoll = new RollDice(7);
        System.out.println("Width of rectOne: " +
                currentRoll.x);
}So my issue is this, the code works if I change byte to int in 'public RollDice(byte numberOfDice) {' and I am guessing that is because ''7' defaults to an int in the call statement. How do I tell it to be a byte, I've tried RollDice(byte 7) with no luck.

Because I am a newbie? What should I be doing instead?The class field "x" is an int. Why not use an int parameter in the constructor? What advantage is there to use a byte here?You realise now OP will just change x to be byte as well.
