C Program for Character to ASCII Conversion

ASCII is the abbreviation of American Standard Code for Information Interchange. It is a character encoding standard for electronic communication. ASCII encodes 128 specified characters into seven-bit integers. It contains the digits from 0 - 9, the upper and lower case English letters from A to Z and some special characters.

Example:

ASCII value of lowercase 'a' is 97.

ASCII value of uppercase 'A' is 65.

  The following C program converts a given character to its corresponding ASCII value. The algorithm, pseudocode and time complexity of the program have also been added.

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
    char x;
    int v;
    //take input of the character
    printf("Enter the character = ");
    scanf("%c", & x);
    //store ASCII value of the character
    v = (int) x;

    printf("\nASCII value of %c is = %d", x, v);
}

Output

Case 1:

Enter the character = b

ASCII value of b is = 98

Case 2:

Enter the character = F

ASCII value of F is = 70
