In this tutorial, you will learn how to find ASCII Value of a Character in C++. Before that, you need to have knowledge of the following in C++ programming.
ASCII stands for American Standard Code for Information Interchange. It is a 7-bit character set that contains 128 (0 to 127) characters. It represents the numerical value of a character.
Example: ASCII value for character A is 65, B is 66 but a is 97, b is 98, and so on.
C++ Program to find ASCII Value of a Character
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 | #include <iostream> using namespace std; int main() { char ch; cout << "Enter a character: "; cin >> ch; cout << "ASCII Value of " << ch << ": " << int(ch); return 0; } |
Output:
//Run 1
Enter a character: q
ASCII Value of q: 113
//Run 2
Enter a character: Q
ASCII Value of Q: 81
In the above program to print ASCII value in C++, there is an explicit conversion of character into an integer. When the explicit conversion is performed to convert into an integer, its ASCII value is printed.
