Ah, I apologise, just something i am not sure about, char unsigned x,
y; means unsigned char x, 'plain' char y?

`char unsigned' means the same thing as `unsigned char';
the order of the keywords in a multi-keyword type specifier
doesn't matter. So `char unsigned x, y;' means the same thing
as `unsigned char x, y;' and gives both x and y the same type.

Win pocket money by writing `long int signed long x;'
or `double long y;' and betting the boys at the bar that
it's legal C.
