Python: Get the ASCII value of a character

Python Basic: Exercise-86 with Solution

Write a Python program to get the ASCII value of a character.

ASCII (Listeni/ˈæski/ ass-kee), abbreviated from American Standard Code for Information Interchange, is a character encoding standard. ASCII codes represent text in computers, telecommunications equipment, and other devices. Most modern character-encoding schemes are based on ASCII, although they support many additional characters.

Sample Solution:-

print()
print(ord('a'))
print(ord('A'))
print(ord('1'))
print(ord('@'))
print()

Sample Output:

97                                                                                                            
65                                                                                                            
49                                                                                                            
64  

for i in range(ord('A'), ord('Z')+1):

    print(chr(i),'==>',i)
