Hi peter!
Ascii characters *never* contain values > 127!
Is this so? At least there is an option so you can choose between
having char signed or unsigned. So far as I remember, the C++ standard
has no requirement as the signedness of char.
C++ standard does not define ascii characters!
ISO defines ASCII which is in range 0x01 - 0x7f.
While I do agree with you on this point, if you read the OP, you must
surely agree with me that the poster used the phrase "ASCII" in the
sense of the current 8-bit codepage. This is technically incorrect,
but very common and can probably be found also in Microsoft
documentation.
It does not matter if you use char, int, short wchar_t or whatever...
ascii will never contains such numbers outside of this range.
If it contains such numbers, then you do not have ascii.
Of course. But the OP used a char to store "ASCII"-characters and
obviously had problems when those chars were negative.
