/*ASCII acronym for American Standard Code for Information Interchange.
It is a 7-bit character set contains 128 (0 to 127) characters.
It represents the numerical value of a character.
For example, the ASCII value of A is 65.*/
char a = 65, b = 66, c = 67;
System.out.println(a);
System.out.println(b);
System.out.println(c);

/* this is how you type ASCII values in java */

Example 2: how to find the ascii value of special character 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 3: how to add a number to the ascii value of a char in java

char a = 97+1;
char b = 'a'+2;
r = (char)(1+5)
