Program to Print ASCII Value of a Character

ASCII value is nothing but represents the english character as numbers which means every letter present in english dictionary holds a number from 0 to 127. for example the ASCII value for capital or uppercase A is '65' and ASCII value for small or lowercase a is '97'.

In this article, you will learn how to write a program to find ASCII value of a character in C, C++, JAVA and PHP Language example.

C Program to find ASCII Value of a Character

//C Language program to get ASCII Value

//Taking input from user

#include<stdio.h>

void main(){
  char c;
  //Telling user what to enter
  printf("Enter a character : ");
  //Taking input from User
  scanf("%c",&c);

  printf("ASCII Value of %c = %d", c, c);

}

OUTPUT ::

Enter a character : a
ASCII Value of a = 97

C++ Program to find ASCII Value of a Character

//C++ Program to get the ASCII value

//Taking input from user

//Including the input/Output Stream Library of CPP
#include<iostream>

using namespace std;

//Main method of the program
int main(){
  //Declaring a character type variable
  char c;
  //Talling user what to enter
  cout << "Enter a character / Nmumber : ";
  //Taking input from user
  cin >> c;
  //Printing the result
  cout << "ASCII Vaule for " << c << " is : " << int(c);
  return 0;
}

OUTPUT ::

Enter a character / Nmumber : @
ASCII Vaule for @ is : 64

JAVA Program to find ASCII Value of a Character

//Java Program to get the ASCII Value

//Taking input from user

//importing Scanner Class for taking input from user
import java.util.Scanner;

//Main Class of Program
public class Main{
  //Main Method of the program
  public static void main (String[] args) {
    //Creating the object of Scanner Class
    Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
    //Telling user what to enter
    System.out.print("Enter a Character / Number : ");
    //String user input character in variale `c` of Character type
    char c = input.next().charAt(0);
    /*
    *Printing the result { (int) will convert the character type value into
    * it'e equilent integer value }
    */
    System.out.println("ASCII VALUE IS : " + (int) c);
  }
}

OUTPUT ::

Enter a Character / Number : a
ASCII VALUE IS : 97

PHP Program to find ASCII Value of a Character

<?php
// PHP Program to get the ASCII Value

//Using Ord Method

//Declaring and Initilizing the character
$inputVariable = 'a';
//Printing Output
echo "ASCII VALUE FOR ".$inputVariable." is ".ord($inputVariable);

OUTPUT ::

ASCII VALUE FOR a is 97
