> -15 yr. old girl noticing me reading I'm trying to figure this one out...Is a -15 yr. old girl the same as a 143 year old woman? Assume: #define MAX_AGE 127 So age ranges from 0 to 127, therefore a 7-bit unsigned value... But it's still stored in an 8-bit byte. So: -15 years old = 10001111 = 143 ...Just a thought... -Allan "You see, Ray...This would be a much BETTER post of mine to flame..." C.
