Write a program in Java to find ASCII value of a Character :
ASCII or American Standard Code for Information Interchange is a character encoding standard to represent characters in computers. By using a 7-bit binary number, a character is defined.
There are 128 possible characters. In decimal form, we can represent a character from 0 to 127. In this tutorial, I will show you how to get the decimal ASCII value of a character in Java.
To find ASCII value, we have two different ways :
-
Assign the character to an integer variable’
-
Typecast the character to an integer.
Below program explains both approaches :
public class Test {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Character c = 'b';
int value = c;
//1 : Assigning
System.out.println("Ascii : "+value);
//2 : Typecasting
System.out.println("Ascii : "+(int)c);
}
}
Output :
Ascii : 98
Ascii : 98
