Hi,

How to convert a character to ASCII in C++?.

Please try this code!

#include <iostream.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main()
{
        int number;
        char letter;
        int option;



        cout<<"Convert ASCII numbers into characters and vice versa";
        cout<<endl<<"[1] * ASCII -> ABC"
                <<endl<<"[2] * ABC -> ASCII"
                <<endl<<"[3] * EXIT"<<endl;;

        cin>>option;
        switch (option) //Detects the option
               {
                case 1:
                        cout<<"Enter a number : ";
                        cin >> number; //Inputs the number
                        cout<<"The number you entered is : \""<<char(number)<<"\" in ASCII"<<endl; //Ouputs the same number in char
                        break;

                case 2:
                        cout<<"Enter a letter : ";
                        cin >> letter; //Inputs the letter
                        cout<<"The character you entered is : \""<<int(letter)<<"\" in ASCII"<<endl; //Outputs the same letter in int
                        break;

                case 3:
                        return 0;

                default: //If user chooses anything else besides options given
                        cout<<"Invalid Option!";
                        system("PAUSE");
                        break;
                }

        system("PAUSE");
        return 0;
}

Here's what I've tried (I see now why this did not work...):

string myInput = Convert.ToString(Convert.ToChar(710));
byte[] asBytes = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(myInput);

But this does not result in 94 but a byte with value 63...
Here's a new try but it still does not work:

byte[] bytes = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes("ê");
