C program to print the ASCII value of a character :
American Standard Code for Information Interexchange or ASCII is a character encoding standard or a value between 0 and 127, that determines a character variable. For example, ASCII value of ‘A’ is 65. In this example program, we will learn how to print the ASCII value of a character in ‘C’ programming language.
C Program code :
#include<stdio.h>
int main(){
//1
char ch;
//2
printf("Enter a character : ");
scanf("%c",&ch);
//3
printf("ASCII value of %c is %d \n",ch,ch);
}
Explanation :
The commented numbers above indicate the steps number below :
- First, create one character variable ‘ch’ to store the character value.
- Ask the user to enter a character. And save the character in ‘ch’.
- Now print the character and ASCII value of the character. We are using %d to print the _ASCII value and %c to print the character.
_
Output :
Enter a character : B
ASCII value of B is 66
Enter a character : A
ASCII value of A is 65
Enter a character : a
ASCII value of a is 97
Enter a character : b
ASCII value of b is 98
Enter a character : Z
ASCII value of Z is 90
