"char" is 1 byte long (8 bits). it doesnt really matter if you use it for a number or letter, its just 8 bits, and can represent anything. its range is shown in numbers, because thats the max number of different combinations that it can have. 0 to 255, or -128 to 127. whatever the case, the max different combinations is 256.
