I don't see the point. unsigned char is one byte, isn't it? Maximum is 255.
So what sense has compare a variable which max value is 255 with a number
greater?
I remember reading somewhere that unsigned char is one byte in all
computers.

Greets, Christian.
Is this what you're looking for?
int foo = 12345678;
unsigned char bar = 23;
while(foo > 255)
    foo /= 10;
if(foo == bar)
    // whatever
----------------------------

True, but the question was asked in that manner, and I answered like that,
even though I suspected that it was a typing error (clever me), to
explain the method. But on reading this now, I realize that he'd asked for
(char *)... so it would be

char *string = "1234567";
int foo = atoi(string);
[etc.]

Hope this (time's post) helps.
