convert character to ascii and back

[Tyler Jordan]

I've been trying to find a way to convert a charcter like a letter to its ascii equivalent and vice versa. Is there a method to accomplish this?

[Ernest Friedman-Hill]

char aChar = 'a';
int anInt = aChar; // anInt is 97
char anotherChar = (char) anInt; // anotherChar is 'a';

"char" is an integral type, so casting is sufficient. To convert from a char to an int, you don't even need that!
