how to get a character in java in ascii

1// Very simple. Just cast your char as an int.
2
3char character = 'a';    
4int ascii = (int) character;
5
6//In your case, you need to get the specific Character from the String first and then cast it.
7
8char character = name.charAt(0); // This gives the character 'a'
9int ascii = (int) character; // ascii is now 97.
10
11//Though cast is not required explicitly, but its improves readability.
12
13int ascii = character; // Even this will do the trick.

45ASCII value of 'A' is  : 65
46ASCII value of 'a' is  : 97
47ASCII value of ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOP is following
48[65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78, 79, 80]
