Which is of course has the sign bit set.

The comments here are educational ... I hadn't realized that the field of programming had become this degraded.

THAT comment is condescending--talk about ideas, not people. I condescended to no one ... my issue is the state of computer science education.

> On the contrary, there is no sign bit. You asked for 128

I didn't ask for anything. The subject here was the value range of the i8 type.

On the contrary, there is no sign bit. You asked for 128 which is either:

  1. Unrepresentable in S8
  2. Representable in U8 as shown in my above comment.
  3. Representable in S16 as 0x0080 but then the sign bit is not set.

Such needless condescension, jibal.
