Convert array of char[] to byte[] and vice versa? C++

Question

What is the best way to convert an array of chars to bytes and vice versa?

Solution:

void CharToByte(char* chars, byte* bytes, unsigned int count){
          


        

Answer 1

There is no byte type in C++, and according to the Standard:

Edit:

1.7:

A byte is at least large enough to contain any member of the basic execution character set and is composed of a contiguous sequence of bits, the number of which is implementation-defined.

5.3.3:

sizeof(char), sizeof(signed char) and sizeof(unsigned char) are 1; the result of sizeof applied to any other fundamental type (3.9.1) is implementation-defined.
