C++ Program to Display ASCII Value of a Character

Problem

Write a C++ Program to Display ASCII Value of a Character.

Solution

In C programming, a character variable stores an ASCII value (an integer between 0 and 127) rather than the character itself. For example, ASCII value of ‘B’ is 66. This means that if you assign ‘B’ to a character variable, 66, rather than ‘B,’ is stored in that variable.

Here’s a sample C++ code snippet that displays ASCII Value of a Character.

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
     char c;

     cout << "Enter any Character : ";
     cin >> c;

     cout << "\nThe ASCII Value of Character = " << int(c)<<"\n";

     return 0;
}

Output
