ASCII stands for American Standard Code for Information Interchange. This is a character encoding standard for electronic communications. If you want to learn how to write a program to find the ASCII value of a character, this article is for you. In this article, I will explain how to write a C++ program to find the ASCII value of a character.
C++ Program to Find ASCII Value
ASCII encodes 128 specified characters into seven-bit integers. Out of them, 95 characters are printable including:
- digits between 0 to 9
- lowercase letters a to z
- uppercase letters A to Z
- and punctuation symbols
Hope you now understand what ASCII characters contain, here is how to find the ASCII value of a character using C++:
Enter any number : B
The ASCII Character of B is 66
In the above code, I have first introduced a variable as ch1, then I am storing a user input inside the variable, and then I am converting the value of the variable ch1 into an integer which finds the ASCII value of the input character.Â
Summary
So this is how to write a C++ program to find the ASCII value of a character. ASCII encodes 128 specified characters into seven-bit integers. Out of them, 95 characters are printable which includes:
- digits between 0 to 9
- lowercase letters a to z
- uppercase letters A to Z
- and punctuation symbols
