ASCII conversion

[Anders Engstr�m]

I would like to know if there is any method in Java where I can have an ASCII value (int) as input and get the corresponding char value as output. I would also like to know how it can be done the other way, char as input and its ASCII value (int) as output.

Anders,

To convert an ASCII(int) to its corresponding char:

  
char a = (char) i;   

where i is an int with a value between 33 & 126 (resulting in an upper- or lowercase letter or a number)

The other way 'round:

int i = (int) a;

where a is a char, being upper- or lowercase or a number.

Hoping to have been of any assistance.
Eric

Thanks! It worked.

Note that casting a char to an int is unnecessary. You could simply assign the char value to the int.
