Char to int?

[rvbplayer123]

I'm writing a program that reads text from a text file into a c-string and then convert the ascii character to integer. I already did the reverse process. integer>ascii. How do I do ascii>integer

int DecodeInt(char c) // this function just outputs the integer 97
  {
   c = 'a';
  int a = c;
   
   return a;
  }

this function just outputs the integer 97

You don't say... why would you expect anything else after doing this? c = 'a';

You need no a special function to convert an object of type char to int because char is already an integral type. All what you need is to assign a char object to an int object or use casting. For example

char c = 'a';

std::cout << a << std::endl; // output is a
std::cout << ( int )a << std::endl; // output is 97

int i = c;

std::cout << a << std::endl; // output is a
std::cout << i << std::endl; // output is 97

"Char to int" is always correct.
Why did you ask this question? Spam?
Or just ask everyone how to print character code (int)?
