C Program to Find ASCII Value of a Character

In C programming, a character variable holds ASCII value (an integer number between 0 an 127) rather than character itself. You will learn how to find ASCII value of a character in this program.

To understand this example, you should have the knowledge of following C programming topics:

A character variable holds ASCII value (an integer number between 0 and 127) rather than that character itself in C programming. That value is known as ASCII value.
For example, ASCII value of 'A' is 65.
What this means is that, if you assign 'A' to a character variable, 65 is stored in that variable rather than 'A' itself.

Program to Print ASCII Value

#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
    char c;
    printf("Enter a character: ");

    // Reads character input from the user
    scanf("%c", &c);  
    
    // %d displays the integer value of a character
    // %c displays the actual character
    printf("ASCII value of %c = %d", c, c);
    return 0;
}

Output

Enter a character: G
ASCII value of G = 71

In this program, user is asked to enter a character which is stored in variable c. The ASCII value of that character is stored in variable c rather than that variable itself.
When %d format string is used, 71 (ASCII value of 'G') is displayed.
When %c format string is used, 'G' itself is displayed.

C Program to Find all Roots of a Quadratic Equation

C Program to Find all Roots of a Quadratic Equation This program accepts coefficients of a quadratic equation from the user and displays the roots (both real and complex roots depending upon the discriminant ). To understand this example, you should have the knowledge of following C programming topics: C Programming Operators C if...else Statement The standard form of a quadratic equation is: ax 2 + bx + c = 0, where a, b and c are real numbers and a ≠ 0 The term b 2 -4ac is known as the discriminant of a quadratic equation. The discriminant tells the nature of the roots. If discriminant is greater than 0, the roots are real and different. If discriminant is equal to 0, the roots are real and equal. If discriminant is less than 0, the roots are complex and different. Example: Program to Find Roots of a Quadratic Equation #include <stdio.h> #include <math.h> int main () ...

C Program to Demonstrate the Working of Keyword long

C Program to Demonstrate the Working of Keyword long The long is a size modifier, indicated by keyword long, that may increase the size of a variable during declaration. This program will demonstrate the working of long keyword. To understand this example, you should have the knowledge of following C programming topics: C Programming Data Types C Programming Constants and Variables C Input Output (I/O) Example: Program to Demonstrate the Working of long #include <stdio.h> int main () { int a ; long b ; long long c ; double e ; long double f ; printf ( "Size of int = %ld bytes \n" , sizeof ( a )); printf ( "Size of long = %ld bytes\n" , sizeof ( b )); printf ( "Size of long long = %ld bytes\n" , sizeof ( c )); printf ( "Size of double = %ld bytes\n" , sizeof ( e )); printf ( "Size of long doub...

C Program to Check Leap Year

C Program to Check Leap Year This program checks whether an year (integer) entered by the user is a leap year or not. To understand this example, you should have the knowledge of following C programming topics: C Programming Operators C if...else Statement A leap year is exactly divisible by 4 except for century years (years ending with 00). The century year is a leap year only if it is perfectly divisible by 400. Example: Program to Check Leap Year #include <stdio.h> int main () { int year ; printf ( "Enter a year: " ); scanf ( "%d" ,& year ); if ( year % 4 == 0 ) { if ( year % 100 == 0 ) { // year is divisible by 400, hence the year is a leap year if ( year % 400 == 0 ) printf ( "%d is a leap year." , year ); else printf ( "%d i...
