ASCII code values in Java
The concept is easy, the program will read from the user a char value, find the ASCII representation of that char, then print it out to the console.
import java.util.Scanner; public class Main { public static void main(String[] args) { char ch; short asciiValue; Scanner Scanner = new Scanner (System.in); System.out.print ("Please enter a character: "); ch = Scanner.next ().charAt (0); asciiValue = (short) ch; System.out.println ("The ASCII value of " + ch + " is: " + asciiValue); } }
Output
Please enter a character: iThe ASCII value of i is: 105
Note: The ASCII value of a lower letter I and the upper letter ‘I’ are not the same.
