There are compilers (mostly for embedded >systems) where `char' is 32-bit wide. Then a byte is defined as 32 bits on those systems. You see, a byte is not always 8 bits. It may be 4-bit wide, or 7-bit, or whatever. The exact definition of byte, for every system, is the minimum addressable memory unit.
