Note: In C like languages the data type size may be different depending on compiler and architecture, we show only one standard look.

Explicit conversion to 8-bit integer the possible of use:

xmin = -128; ymax = 127;
signed char x= -5;           // x = -5
signed char y = -(15 % 4);   // y = -3
y = (signed char)(x * y);    // z = 15
