Example 2: ascii a
ASCII Table
Dec = Decimal Value
Char = Character
'5' has the int value 53
if we write '5'-'0' it evaluates to 53-48, or the int 5
if we write char c = 'B'+32; then c stores 'b'

Example 4: what is ascii code
ASCII stands for American Standard code for Information Interchange.
ASCII character range is 0 to 255.
We can’t add more characters to the ASCII Character set.
ASCII character set supports only English. That 13
is the reason, if we see C language we can write c language only in English
we can’t write in other languages because it uses ASCII code
