Should you be able to initialize a float with a char?

I always thought them as integers, yesterday I was adding some 
new features do addam_d_ruppes' IRC client and I did:

    auto pgdir = (ev.key == Keyboard.Key.PageDown)-(ev.key == 
KeyboardEvent.Key.PageUp);

So to get: -1, 0 or 1, and do the next action according the input 
given from the user.
