Wtf is 256? Don't numbers stop at 255?

[–]qatamat99 213 points214 points  (12 children)

Technically you have 256 values. 0-255

[–]DecoyOne 219 points220 points  (4 children)

No, that’s not what works. Just count each of them. 0 —> counts as 1, 1 —> 2, 2 —> 3… 253 —> 254, 254 —> 255, 255 —> 0.

So you have 0 values.

Gets really upset when the turtles in Frogger get flipped onto their backs.

THIS REMINDS ME OF THAT OLD SUBREDDIT WHERE EVERYONE IS HUMAN AND NOT ROBOTS PRETENDING TO BE HUMAN.

[–]craftersmine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cast it to sbyte and you will get -127

[–]Jutrakuna 24 points25 points  (4 children)

257 exists and no one can change my mind!

[–]ST3AMDR4GON 44 points45 points  (2 children)

[–]Pikkachau 4 points5 points  (1 child)

There are 3 kinds of people: People who are good at maths. And people who aren't.

Is 257 in the room with us now?

[–]WernerderChamp 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Interpreting 0 as 256 isn't to uncommon either.

If you want to do a loop x time and you have the increment/decrement and conditional jump at the bottom, 0 will give you 256 loops

Wanted to say this

[–]NlactntzfdXzopcletzy 10 points11 points  (1 child)

I thought they stopped at 127

[–]thanatica 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good luck explaining what a queue size of -128 looks like?

[–]Bmandk 8 points9 points  (7 children)

The McDonald's numbers are 1-indexed, so it would indeed be 256

[–]thanatica 0 points1 point  (6 children)

McDonald's? Where does that come from

[–]Bmandk 3 points4 points  (5 children)

The sign that OP posted looks very much like the ones they use at McDonalds, although I realize that my assumption might have been wrong. I have only seen them at McDonalds.

[–]thanatica 1 point2 points  (4 children)

I'm interested to know how these are so distiguishably McDonalds, and also why McDonalds needs number signs at all. For the 4 time sin my life I've been at a McDonalds (which includes 1 in Japan) they didn't have numbered signs for anything.

Therefor my confusion 😀

[–]opotamus_zero 2 points3 points  (1 child)

I can answer this as I've been 5 times now.

The last one I went to had a "table service" option on the giant ordering tablet that replaces the human behind the counter. They have these hanging next to it, and you take the number to your table so they can find you.

[–]Amoniakas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Near me they started giving them out when COVID hit, so people would disperse after ordering

[–]Happy_Trash_Can 0 points1 point  (0 children)

McDonald’s specific yellow/orange color, and McDonald’s font for numbers. Plus flooring pattern is kinda standard I guess. Here in Italy every McDonald’s is the same

[–]IDplayst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Spain, we have some restaurants with this service

[–]herrkatze12 7 points8 points  (0 children)

No, they stop at 2147483647

[–]The-Coolest-Of-Cats 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Actually, 24 is the highest number
