✅ How do I convert a char to ascii and ascii back to char?

I tried this:

int b = (int)'b';
int e = (int)'e';
int c = e - b;
Console.WriteLine("char is: " + c);

int b = (int)'b';
int e = (int)'e';
int c = e - b;
Console.WriteLine("char is: " + c);

and the output is:

char is:

basically .... nothing

Because you're trying to display a difference So probably some invalid char What you should do if you're hoping for an actual letter, is add 'a' to it

You get a char with ASCII number of 3 So the character for, literally, END OF TEXT: https://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/0003/index.htm

That said, it's an int variable, sonit shouldn't be converting to char

yeah i know, sorry about that. First, I had written Convert.ToChar(c) but later I changed it to just see int value but copied the exact code my bad

Pobiega•9mo ago

So... what's the actual code that doesn't work? Or does everything work now and this thread can be closed?

Pobiega•9mo ago

They did convert tochar on 3, so eof

Jibz•9mo ago
