A char in the C programming language is a data type with the size of exactly

of the “basic execution character set”. The exact number of bits can be checked
via CHAR_BIT macro.

C uses char type to store characters and letters. However, the char type is 
integer type because underneath C stores integer numbers instead of characters.

127 or 0 to 255.
