Add Signed and Unsigned Integers Safely

Code

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdint.h>

int16_t signed_unsigned_sum(int8_t a, uint8_t b) {
    int16_t c = int16_t (a + b);
    return  c;
}

int main() {
    int8_t a;
    uint8_t b;
    scanf("%hhd %hhu", &a, &b);
    printf("%d", signed_unsigned_sum(a,b ));
    return 0;
}
