Program to find the ASCII value of a character is discussed here. Given a character as input, the ASCII value of the character is displayed as output.

A character variable holds the ASCII value (an integer number between 0 and 127) rather than that character itself. That value is known as the ASCII value.

For example, consider the given character as input.

Input: S

Output: 83

Input: s

Output: 115
