Right. I should have noted that it was English-only. But she did ask about "char" not "wchar". I just figured she was following aaron's conventions by typing "char" instead or "Char".

If the Palm is being used exclusively in the US in English, this is likely to be true. However, the Text manager deals with a bunch of issues about multi-byte characters. Susan's domain is 163.com which is administered out of China, so there's a chance she's asking about multi-byte characters. If so, I don't think there's a direct correspondence between individual WChars and Chars. Susan, what did you need ASCII for? -Ken On Wed, 2003-02-05 at 14:05, Jeff Wheeler wrote: > Susan wrote: > >> 2) Is there a function that can return the ASCII value of > >> a char? > > Is this a trick question? ;^) > > Int16 GetAscii(Char c) > { > return (Int16) c; > } > > However, since a character IS the ASCII value that represents that > character, stored as an 8-bit number, you don't need a function to get it. > > Char c = 'a'; // 'a' == 97 decimal, so c is an 8-bit number > // that stores the value 97. > > (c == 'a') // evaluates to true > > (c == 97) // evaluates to true -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/ -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
