in reply to Re^2: How to convert between decimal and binary for negative numbers?
in thread How to convert between decimal and binary for positive/negative numbers?

But I was trying to get a solution for small negative numbers, no more than -127 which is the limit of 8 bit int.

If you want to pack 8-bit numbers, do not use 32-bit templates; nor 'B32'.

Think! read, and think again.

(Hint:8-bit signed numbers; 'B8' and 'c'...)

    Hello again BrowserUk,

    I could not get a better answer than that. :D I will work on it, I am under some pressure to finish something else but I would love to work on it. I need to read thoroughly the documentation I agree with you 100%. Again thank you for your time and effort. I will get back to you with an answer in a few days. Hopefully soon. :D
