I want to get, given a character, its ASCII
value.
For example, for the character a
, I want to get 97
, and vice versa.
To convert Python char to int, use the ord() method. The ord() is a built-in Python function that accepts a character and returns the ASCII value of that character. The ord() method returns the number representing the Unicode code of a specified character.
We can convert letters to numbers in Python using the ord() method. The ord() method takes a single character as an input and return an integer representing the Unicode character. The string can be iterated through for loop and use an ord() method to convert each letter into number.
In Java, we can convert the Char to Int using different approaches. If we direct assign char variable to int, it will return the ASCII value of a given character. If the char variable contains an int value, we can get the int value by calling Character. getNumericValue(char) method.
To convert int to char in Python, use the chr() method. The chr() is a built-in Python method that returns a character (a string) from an integer (it represents the Unicode code point of the character).
Use chr()
and ord()
:
>>> chr(97) 'a' >>> ord('a') 97
>>> ord('a') 97 >>> chr(97) 'a'
