Convert a get a character's unicode(?) value? [closed]

Question

I need to convert a char to an int and back.

Here's what I'm using to convert the char to an int:

(char)65 // Returns 'a'

Here's what I'm TRYING to use to convert it back:

(int)'a' // Returns 97

Any ideas what I can do?

Answer 1

try this,

char x = 'a';
int y = (int)x;

Answer 2

65 is the character code for a capital 'A'. 97 is a lower case 'a'.
