🚀 Day 42/150 – ASCII Value of a Character in Python

The ASCII value is the numeric code assigned to characters.

Example:
A = 65
a = 97
0 = 48

Let’s explore different ways to find ASCII value in Python 👇

🔹 Method 1 – Using ord()

ch = 'A' print("ASCII Value:", ord(ch))

✅ ord() returns the ASCII/Unicode value.

🔹 Method 2 – Taking User Input
ch = input("Enter a character: ")

print("ASCII Value:", ord(ch))


✅ Dynamic version.

🔹 Method 3 – Using Function
def get_ascii(ch):
    return ord(ch)

print(get_ascii('a'))



✅ Reusable approach.

🔹 Method 4 – Using Loop for String
text = "ABC"

for ch in text:
    print(ch, "=", ord(ch))



✅ Useful for multiple characters.

🔹 Method 5 – Using Dictionary Comprehension
chars = ['A', 'B', 'C']

ascii_values = {ch: ord(ch) for ch in chars}

print(ascii_values)



✅ Great for storing multiple values.
🔹 Output
ASCII Value: 65


🔥 Key Takeaways
✔️ Use ord() to get ASCII value

✔️ Works for letters, digits, symbols

✔️ Useful in encoding problems

✔️ Can handle single or multiple characters
