how get ascii value in java code example

Example 1: how to print ascii value in java

public class AsciiValue {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        char ch = 'a';
        int ascii = ch;
        // You can also cast char to int
        int castAscii = (int) ch;

        System.out.println("The ASCII value of " + ch + " is: " + ascii);
        System.out.println("The ASCII value of " + ch + " is: " + castAscii);
    }
}

Example 2: how to get a character in java in ascii

// Very simple. Just cast your char as an int.

char character = 'a';    
int ascii = (int) character;

//In your case, you need to get the specific Character from the String first and then cast it.

char character = name.charAt(0); // This gives the character 'a'
int ascii = (int) character; // ascii is now 97.

//Though cast is not required explicitly, but its improves readability.

int ascii = character; // Even this will do the trick.
