[fire exit]

i am C++ noobies. how can i change a character into ascii then move it into variable?

It's simple. A character that you're using in your program already have an ASCII-value, but you sees it like a character. If you want to have the value itself, you can simply convert the character to an integer.

// C, with C type-casting
char cMyCharacter = 'A';
int iMyAsciiValue = (int)cMyCharacter;

// C++, with C++ type-casting
char cMyCharacter = 'A';
int iMyAsciiValue = static_cast<int>(cMyCharacter);

You can actually leave out the type-casting part. C/C++ is built in the way that when an integer-variable meets a char-variable, it automatic converts.

What if i want to convert ASCII to Character.how can i do that?

Thanks sir. You are a big help to us programmer( both newbies and Pros). Thanks again.

The same thing, just in reverse. You can either explicitly cast an int as a char or simply assign an int variable to a char variable.

int asciiVal = 65;
 
//then either
 
char asciiChar = static_cast<char>(asciiVal);
 
//or simply
 
char asciiChar = asciiVal;

i was thinking on about what you need to do .. all you need to do is cast it to an int to get the ASCII value.

ex)

 int  asciiVal = 0;

 char  letter = 'A'; 

//this will  cast to the ascii value (int) 
asciiVal = (int)letter;

This should work nice for you

Hey Guys,

I am new to learning C++ and I am trying to make a C++ program to display an Ascii image. Can someone help me get started on how to make this work? Thanks. I have included the image I am trying to make and the code that I have created. Can you tell me what I am doing wrong and how to get started correctly if I am doing this wrong? It is supposed to be the Ubuntu image but in ascii.
