char ascii c++

To get the ASCII value of a character in C++, you can use the int() function or the typecasting feature. Here are the steps to get the ASCII value of a character in C++:

  1. Declare a variable of type char to store the character whose ASCII value you want to find. For example, you can declare a variable ch of type char.
  2. Assign the desired character to the variable ch. For example, you can assign a character 'A' to ch.
  3. Use the int() function or typecasting to convert the character to its ASCII value. For example, you can use int(ch) or (int)ch to get the ASCII value of the character stored in ch.

Here is an example code snippet that demonstrates these steps:

#include <iostream>

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

    std::cout << "ASCII value of " << ch << " is " << asciiValue << std::endl;

    return 0;
}

In this example, the character 'A' is assigned to the variable ch. Then, the int(ch) statement converts the character to its ASCII value and stores it in the asciiValue variable. Finally, the program prints the ASCII value of the character 'A' using std::cout.
