What character set defines characters associated with negative numeric values? If you cast a defined value, do you get the same result in both languages? By C++, are you referring to ISO standard or C++/CLI? Bottom line: different languages provide different responses to illogical input.

That would tell you something is amiss. As PvdG42 wrote, the behavior is rather ill-defined. In fact, when I run the code above, I get a question mark for any negative number. Mike
