C program to display the ASCII value of a character

ASCII is a short form for American Standard Code for Information Interchange. The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) created ASCII (American National Standards Institute). ASCII is used to transfer data from a high-level language to a low-level one. Only binary languages are understood by machines and computers. As a result, the character data type is used to represent numbers.

Given a character, the below program prints the corresponding ASCII value.

Program:

#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
     char ch;

     printf("Enter any character: ");
     scanf("%c",&ch);

     printf("ASCII value of %c is = %d",ch,ch);

     return 0;
}

Output:

Enter any character: d
ASCII value of d is = 100
