∙ 13y agoThe range of -128 to +127 is the range of a signed integer of length 8-bits when considered as a two's complement number. Normally, you do not consider characters to be integers, and you do not normally do arithmetic on them. Also, they can be unsigned, meaning they have a range of 0 to 255.
It is not considered portable, nor appropriate, to treat characters as integers in terms of their arithmetic values or vice versa.
Platform-dependent; on some platform the default char-type is signed char (-128..127), on others it is unsigned char (0..255).
Note: getchar returns a -1..255 value (where -1 represents EOF); if you assign it to a char (before checking for EOF), you will lose information.

What is the range of integer char float for a 16-bit computer?
Consult your limits.h and math.h. For char it will be -128..127 or 0.255 (signed and unsigned).
How do you convert a char to an integer in Visual Basic 2010?
A char is already an integer, so there is no conversion required. A character is simply an integer that maps to a glyph in the current code page. ASCII characters are 1 byte long and have a value in the range 0 to 127 while extended ASCII characters are in the 128 to 255 range. Wide characters (UTF16 UNICODE) characters are two bytes long and cover the range 0 to 65,535, where 0 to 127 map to the standard ASCII character set. UTF8 UNICODE characters are variable width (1 to 6 bytes in length), where 0 to 127 are single-byte characters mapping to the standard ASCII set.
How are char -type constants and char-type variables interpreted when used as operands with a relational operator?
As integers, within range -128..127 if signed, 0..255 if unsigned.
What is the ASCII value of -1?

What is the numerical range of a char?
There is no defined range of values in C. The built-in types all have ranges that are defined in <stdint.h>, <limits.h> and <float.h>. These ranges are implementation-defined, they are not defined by the language or by the standard. The standard only defines minimum guarantees such that a char is always at least 8 bits long (CHAR_BIT) and that an int is at least as long as a short which is at least as long as a char.
