    // let's use 250 as an example. unsigned char will be 250, while signed char
    // will be -6. Bit-wise, they are equivalent: 11111010. However, when
    // converting negative number (signed char) to int, it will be converted
    // into negative int (of equivalent value, which is -6), while converting
    // positive number (unsigned char) will be converted to 250. Bitwise,
    // this looks like this:
    // signed char 11111010 -> int 11111111111111111111111111111010
    // unsigned char 11111010 -> int 00000000000000000000000011111010
