how to get characters through their ascii value in c++
To get characters through their ASCII value in C++, you can use the type casting mechanism. Here are the steps to do it:
- Declare a variable of type
int
to store the ASCII value you want to convert. - Declare another variable of type
char
to store the converted character. - Use type casting to assign the ASCII value to the
char
variable. You can do this by enclosing the variable name in parentheses and precede it with thechar
keyword.
Here is an example code snippet that demonstrates the process:
#include <iostream>
int main() {
int asciiValue = 65; // ASCII value of 'A'
char character = static_cast<char>(asciiValue);
std::cout << "Character: " << character << std::endl;
return 0;
}
In this example, we assign the ASCII value 65 to the asciiValue
variable, which corresponds to the character 'A'. We then use the static_cast<char>
to convert the asciiValue
to type char
and assign it to the character
variable. Finally, we print the character
variable, which will output 'A'.
You can modify the asciiValue
variable to any valid ASCII value to get the corresponding character.
