ASC

The ASC function converts a single character into its ASCII value. It is the inverse of the CHAR function.

Syntax

ASC( STRING char )

Parameters

char
The character to get an ASCII value for.

Return value

An INT value containing the ASCII value of the supplied character. If char is more than 1 character long, then the ASCII value of the first character is returned, and if it is an empty string, then zero is returned.

Example

PRINT("ASCII value of J is: ", ASC("J"), "\n");
