not explicitly, all it does is find the address of end of the string (the
first zero byte) and subtracts from that the start address of the string,

that "157" is really a -99  (if exporessed as an signed char) and thefore
withing the "char range"  whatever that means.

anyway strlen on that will give the reult 5
