convert char to int ascii in c function

To convert a char to its corresponding ASCII value in C, you can use the int typecast. Here is a step-by-step explanation:

  1. Declare a char variable to store the character whose ASCII value you want to find. For example, let's say you have a variable named myChar of type char.

  2. Declare an int variable to store the ASCII value. For example, let's say you have a variable named asciiValue of type int.

  3. Assign the char value to the int variable using typecasting. Typecasting is done by enclosing the variable you want to convert inside parentheses and specifying the target type before it. In this case, you would use asciiValue = (int)myChar;.

  4. The asciiValue variable now holds the ASCII value of the character stored in myChar.

Here is an example code snippet that demonstrates the conversion:

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
    char myChar = 'A';
    int asciiValue;

    asciiValue = (int)myChar;

    printf("ASCII value of %c is %d\n", myChar, asciiValue);

    return 0;
}

In this example, the character 'A' is converted to its corresponding ASCII value and stored in the asciiValue variable. The printf statement then displays the character and its ASCII value on the console.

You can replace 'A' with any character you want to convert, and the code will give you the corresponding ASCII value.
