ASCII equivalent

[anurag275125]

Hi,
Can anyone tell me how can I take a character from command line as input and find its ASCII equivalent?? Please provide coding...

import java.util.*;
public class ascii {

    public static void main(String args[])
    {
        Scanner input=new Scanner(System.in);
        System.out.print("enter character :");
        String k=input.next();
        int j=(int)k.charAt(0);
        System.out.println(k+"-->"+j);
    }
}

import java.util.*;
public class ascii {

    public static void main(String args[])
    {
        Scanner input=new Scanner(System.in);
        System.out.print("enter character :");
        String k=input.next();
        int j=(int)k.charAt(0);
        System.out.println(k+"-->"+j);
    }
}

That gives you the unicode code points for a character. Thanks for spoonfeeding.

kind regards,

Here is a link to the ASCII table.

Here is a link to the unicode table.

Take a good look at the two tables, notice any pattern in how the two would convert to one another...descr ibe the pattern in words on paper...proceed to write a method to convert the values.
