convert to ascii ruby

To convert a string to ASCII in Ruby, you can use the ord method. Here are the steps to do it:

1. Start by defining a string variable that you want to convert to ASCII. For example, let's say we have a string variable called text:

text = "Hello, world!"

1. Next, you can use the each_char method to iterate over each character in the string. This method returns an enumerator that you can iterate over using a block. Within the block, you can call the ord method on each character to get its ASCII value.

text.each_char do |char|
  ascii_value = char.ord
  puts ascii_value
end

1. In the above example, we are printing the ASCII value of each character using puts. You can modify this step based on your specific requirements. For example, you can store the ASCII values in an array or perform some other operation with them.

2. Finally, when you run the above code, it will output the ASCII values of each character in the string "Hello, world!".

Here is the complete code:

text = "Hello, world!"

text.each_char do |char|
  ascii_value = char.ord
  puts ascii_value
end

This code will output:

72
101
108
108
111
44
32
119
111
114
108
100
33

Each number represents the ASCII value of the corresponding character in the string.
