About char().... In C++ that's just a cast from an integer to char (32bit and 8bit), which can be done like this:
Code:
#include <cstdlib>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main(int argc, char * argv[])
{
int ASCII = 65;
// int ASCII = 0x41; // In hexadecimal, if you need it
char c1 = static_cast<char>( ASCII ); // Declare c1 as char, and perform cast
cout << c1 << endl; // Display character (Uppercase A)
system("PAUSE");
return (EXIT_SUCCESS);
}
