Re: One byte integer

Does anyone know what the performance considerations might be on using a char instead of an int? I know it's a generalization but usually int processing is faster than shorts and chars. Not sure if this has any application here, just curious.

Rob,

I believe that the OP stated somewhere that he needed to store a number
between 0 and 100. An one-byte integer field could allow between -127 and
128 if signed and between 0 and 255 if unsigned.
