ASCII Value
ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) is the character encoding standard of electronic communication. ASCII codes represent text within computers, telecommunications equipment, and other devices. – Wikipedia
Logic
To find ASCII value of a character we only have to cast them to integer data type. If the character is cast to integer data type then it automatically returns its ASCII value.
Casting is a way to convert a variable from one data type to another data type.
Program
#include <iostream> using namespace std; int main() { int a; char ch; cout << "Enter any character : "; cin >> ch; a = ch; cout << endl << "ASCII value of " << ch << " is " << a; return 0; }
Output
Enter any character : a
ASCII value of a is 97
