Understanding ASCII Value of a Character

Characters in C++ are stored as their ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) values. We can cast a char to int using (int) to get its ASCII value. Each character has a unique numeric value (A=65, a=97, etc.).

Note: To write and run C++ programs, you need to set up the local environment on your computer. Refer to the complete article Setting up C++ Development Environment. If you do not want to set up the local environment on your computer, you can also use online IDE to write and run your C++ programs.
