How to get ASCII value of char in java?

In this article,we will learn about how to get ascii value of char in java.

ASCII is a code for representing English characters as numbers, each letter of the English alphabet is assigned a number ranging from 0 to 127. For example, the ASCII code for uppercase P is 80.

In Java programming, we have two ways to find the ASCII value of the character 1) By assigning characters to int variable 2) With a value of type casting character as an int

Let us write a program to understand how it works:

Example: Program to find the ASCII code of character

public class Demo {

    public static void main (String [] args) {

        Char ch = 'P';

        int asciiCode = ch;

        // char type casting int

        asciiValue int = (int) ch;



        System.out.println ( "ASCII value of" + ch + "is:" + asciiCode);

        System.out.println ( "ASCII value of" + ch + "is:" + asciiValue);

    }

}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Output:

ASCII value of P is: 80

ASCII value of P is: 80
