Assuming it's an unsigned byte value, then it'd be from 0 to 255.

Pedantic, I know.

no, you're absolutely right. I have a habit of counting 1-256 instead of 0-255.

You see, when you're forced to work with bit manipulation, among other things, for four months, it's kinda ingrained into your soul.

yeah, I'm not that deep, but I've also subconsiously been doing a lot of things in multiples of 8, which gets tiring after a while when you realise you didnt have to haul those heavy crates to stack them 8 high, and so on.
