use ord function in haskell is not is scope

Question

Pretty simple, I want to convert a character to integer using the function ord, however it is not loaded automatically in the prelude because it says:

*Main> ord 'a'

<interactive>:55:1:
Not in scope: ‘ord’
Perhaps you meant one of these:
  ‘odd’ (imported from Prelude), ‘or’ (imported from Prelude)

How, for heaven's sake, I can use it??

Answer 1

You need to import Data.Char first:

import Data.Char
