How do I specify an integer literal of type unsigned char in C++?

Question

I can specify an integer literal of type unsigned long as follows:

const unsigned long example = 9UL;

How do I do likewise for an unsigned

Answer 1

You can cast the constant. For example:

min(static_cast(9), example2);

You can also use the constructor syntax:

typedef unsigned char uchar;
min(uchar(9), example2);

The typedef isn't required on all compilers.
