How to get the ASCII value of a character in Golang

// Golang program to get the ASCII value of a character.

package main
import "fmt"

func main() {
    //Declare a character type variable.
    var val byte = 'C'
    
    fmt.Printf("Character value: %c",val) 
    fmt.Printf("\nASCII value: %d",val) 
}

In the above program, we declare the package main. The main package instructs the Go language compiler that the package must be compiled and an executable file generated. We imported the fmt package, which contains the files of the fmt package, and then we can use a function related to the fmt package. The main() function is the entry point for the program. Here, we created a variable val of byte type, which is initialized with the ‘C’ value. After that printed character and ASCII value of variable val using Printf() function on the console screen
