(short) is just a type cast. All it does is tell the compiler to interpret the value as a different type. The value in this case is just the single character itshort[0]. What you intended to do was something dofferent: you wanted the computer to reinterpret the memory starting at itshort[0]. But there is no way for the compiler to understand that is what you want.

As others pointed out, there are ways to achieve this. However, why don't you simple use short or unsigned short?
C++
typedef short itshort;
If you don't trust the compiler to use 16 bit values for short, you can also use size-specific types. E. g. Microsoft offers __int8, __int16, etc. for these purposes. See __int8, __int16, __int32, __int64 | Microsoft Docs[^]
GOTOs are a bit like wire coat hangers: they tend to breed in the darkness, such that where there once were few, eventually there are many, and the program's architecture collapses beneath them. (Fran Poretto)
