not at all. let's the variable is declared as 8bit signed integer. ( byte ) the first bit is signed bit. (0)100 0000 = 64 64 << 1 = (1)000 0000 = -128 according to the C Language standard. The "byte" must be 8 bit. you may declare it as unsigned (0-255). for the type "int". it is depends on the OS and the CPU. Nowadays, it's usually 64bit length. For Java, the int must be 32bit signed. ( Java can not unsigned )
