How to find ascii value of a character?
1 answer(s)
The key thing to remember is that computers see numbers, not characters. The ASCII value is simply the standard number assigned to a specific character.
Finding this value is quite straightforward in most programming languages. You just need to convert or 'cast' the character to an integer type.
For example, in Python, you can use the built-in ord() function: value = ord('A'). In languages like C, C++, or Java, you can typecast it directly: int value = (int)'A';. In both cases, the variable value will hold the number 65. JavaScript uses a slightly different method: 'A'.charCodeAt(0). This is a fundamental concept you will find very useful for text manipulation.
