Printing chars and their ASCII-code in C

Nothing can be more simple than this

#include <stdio.h>  

int main()  
{  
    int i;  

    for( i=0 ; i<=255 ; i++ ) /*ASCII values ranges from 0-255*/  
    {  
        printf("ASCII value of character %c = %d\n", i, i);  
    }  

    return 0;  
}   

Source: program to print ASCII value of all characters


Try this:

char c = 'a'; // or whatever your character is
printf("%c %d", c, c);

The %c is the format string for a single character, and %d for a digit/integer. By casting the char to an integer, you'll get the ascii value.


This prints out all ASCII values:

int main()
{
    int i;
    i=0;
    do
    {
        printf("%d %c \n",i,i);
        i++;
    }
    while(i<=255);
    return 0;
}

and this prints out the ASCII value for a given character:

int main()
{
    int e;
    char ch;
    clrscr();
    printf("\n Enter a character : ");
    scanf("%c",&ch);
    e=ch;
    printf("\n The ASCII value of the character is : %d",e);
    getch();
    return 0;
}
