Plz help me with the characters showing.

[pinkfog]

hi,all
I write a snippet(in VC6.0 PLATFORM) to show the ASCII character
ranging from 0-255.
snippet:
#include "stdafx.h"
#include "stdio.h"
#include "conio.h"
int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
int i = 0;
for(i = 0; i < 255; i++)
{
printf("%d = %c\n", i, i);
}
getch();
return 0;
}
IT can normaly show 0-127,but cannot show 128-255 just like "219=?".
what's the problem?
Any one can help?
Thx.

There is no such thing. The ASCII character set is defined over 0-127.
snippet:
#include "stdafx.h" Not a standard header. Remove.
#include "stdio.h" Unless you have your own personal copy of stdio.h that you intend to
use, this is not the right way to include a standard header, Use
#include <stdio.h>
#include "conio.h" Not a standard header. Remonve
int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
int i = 0;
for(i = 0; i < 255; i++)
{
printf("%d = %c\n", i, i);
}
getch(); Not a standard function. Remove or replace with a standard
function or macro. One such is getchar().
return 0;
}
IT can normaly show 0-127,but cannot show 128-255 just like "219=?".

You implementation seems use the ASCII characters set and know that
it is defined only over the range of 0-127.
Any one can help?
Perhaps you should start by learning standard C. Then learn that your
code does not necessarily relate to ASCII at all; other encodings are
possible. In fact, you seem to want some other encoding, since you want
to display characters for values which are outside the defined range of
ASCII.
Thx.

Would it really have hurt your hand to type *two* more characters? Like
this:
Thanks

Like this:

It may have, as it's four more, *and* that "x" needs translating.

The string "Thx." has 4 characters.
The string "Thanks" has 6 characters.
In your arithmetic the value of 6-4 may be 4, but don't bother applying
for work anywhere that uses numbers.
Idiot.

I do admit not counting a ".".

Now, still not counting the ".":

"Thx" differs from "Thanks" in 4 characters ("anks"), possibly 5 if you
count the "x" (that needs translating into "anks"). So, it does
require typing 4 extra characters ("anks"), and, if you want to be
very precise, one less ("x"), in which case we're both wrong, as it's
3, not 2 or 4.
Idiot.

And that was totally uncalled for.

Goodbye.

Look up "locale" and how character sets work. The characters > 127 can
be all sorts of wierd and wonderful things and will depend on the
platform, location, window, locale setting and installed fonts.

There are NO characters > 127 in Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0. The type
"char" is signed, and ranges from -128 to 127.

Unless you set the option to tell it to make char unsigned.
