Who knows thier ****?

[Mike Brown]

OK, who here is good with Java? I need to know if Java is capable of using
Value marks (ASCII # 253). byte won't go that high... or will it?
All that I can find is Unicode stuff, but no ASCII support... HELP!!!

[Paul Clapham]

Actually, ASCII only defines characters between #0 and #127. There are
other character sets that are loosely defined as "extended ASCII" that
define characters up to #255, which conflict with one another.

I don't know what you're trying to do with this #253, but in Java a "char"
is not the same as a "byte". A byte is a numeric value between -128 and
127. It's used for arithmetic. A char is a 2-byte value that's meant to
hold a character value in the Unicode character set. Unicode has space for
up to 65536 characters, of which the first 128 are the 128 ASCII characters.

Can't help you with your problem, because I don't know what it is, but if
you need a variable to store 253 in, an "int" is big enough.

Thought this is a place for professionals to help each other? Is this an
outlet to test lyrics for your new musical act, "Johnny Latrine and the American
Standards"? I didn't know this was a place to post music lyrics?!?!?!?!

Cheers,
