array[(int)GET_SOMETHING(ch))]
Basically it's because the variable is 'byte' or 'char' type so save memory
for small value variables. The compiler then complains because it doesn't
think a character in the array is correct. Since it is, you cast it to an
integer to tell the compiler that you really mean it.
