I am having a hard time understanding this and hopefully someone can correct me on it. A BYTE is defined as 0 – 2^7 ? which would be 128, which is 8 bits, correct? But that cant be correct because I am now storing a value of 255 into a BYTE? Any kick in the right direction would be helpful
An unsigned byte is 2^8 = 256, but if you have to store the sign, the you need to sacrify a bit, then you have +- 2^7 = -127 + 128.
