The range you've given is wrong or at least misleading. I haven't had
much experience with various platforms but I've never seen a compiler
which treated char as unsigned by default,
**and with unsigned chars the range would be rather -128..127.**
[ Let's not mislead newbies <G]
I think Michal meant 'signed char', not 'unsigned char'.
#include <limits// and <iostream>, <ostream>
{
using std::cout // for NG posting
cout<<" sizeof(char) ="<<sizeof(char)<<std::endl;
cout<<" sizeof(unsigned char) ="<<sizeof(unsigned char)<<std::endl;
cout <<"std::numeric_limits<char>::max() ="
<<int(std::numeric_limits<char>::max())<<std::endl ;
cout <<"std::numeric_limits<char>::min() ="
<<int(std::numeric_limits<char>::min())<<std::endl ;
cout <<"std::numeric_limits<unsigned char>::max() ="
<<int(std::numeric_limits<unsigned char>::max())<<std::endl;
cout <<"std::numeric_limits<unsigned char>::min() ="
<<int(std::numeric_limits<unsigned char>::min())<<std::endl;
}
/* -- output -- (MinGW(GCC), x86)

std::numeric_limits<char>::max() =127
std::numeric_limits<char>::min() =-128
