Re: How to access the value that a pointer is pointing to

But oneByte has a value of 2067035792! Which is why I assumed it was a pointer. I was expecting an 8-bit byte number from 0 to 255; 65, for example, being the ASCII value for 'A'.

int oneByte, oneByteASCII;

int isn't one byte, and assumes signed. Default integer in gcc is probably 4 bytes, and short is 2. fread is putting the byte into the top byte of your 4 byte int, which may impact the sign bit; the effect may also depend on the endianness of the system you are running it on.


Make oneByte and oneByteASCII char and it will do what you want. Well, so far.
