ASCII value in C

You can obtain the ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) value of a character using the int data type. The ASCII value represents the integer value that corresponds to a specific character in the ASCII character set. Here’s how you can obtain the ASCII value of a character in C:

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
    char character = 'A'; // Define a character
    int asciiValue = (int)character; // Cast the character to an integer

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

    return 0;
}

In this example, the character 'A' is assigned to the variable character. By casting it to an int using (int), you obtain the ASCII value of that character. The printf statement then prints both the character and its ASCII value.

When you run this program, it will output:

The ASCII value of 'A' is 65

Each character in the ASCII character set is associated with a unique integer value, allowing you to convert between characters and their corresponding ASCII values using this method.
