But look at the line above my comment:
"you assume that a char is 8 bits, with a signed char having a range
of +/-255".
An 8 bit signed char has the values -128 to +127, as I stated. even a 9 bit
signed char would not be +/-255 but -256 to +255.
Doesn't the 1100 use one's complement? -0 != 0, so AFAICT it's still +/-255.
ok
bear.
