C++ program to find the ASCII value of the given character

Given below is the C++ program in which a user input of char data type is accepted and then it is type casted to int data type and the following ASCII code is obtained.

#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
    char s;
    cout<<"Enter a character"<<endl;
    cin>>s;
    cout<<"The ASCII value of the given character is"<<endl;
    cout<<int(s);       //Type casted from char data type to int data type.
    return 0;
}

OUTPUT :

Enter a character

a

The ASCII value of the given character is

97

 

EXPLANATION:

• In the above code the compilation starts from the main function (here int main()) .
• Then it takes a character as a input .
• By typecasting the char data type to int data type.
• When we change a character to its integer format then the ASCII value of the corresponding character gets printed out.
