#include <stdio.h>

main()
{
      int i;
      char ch;
      
      printf("---------------------------------------------------------------\n");
      printf("This program going to convert Charctor value to ASCI value\n\n");
      printf("-----------------------------------------------------------------\n");
      
      printf("Enter your Charctor:\n");
      scanf("%c",&ch);
      
      printf("Program detected your Letter as %c: ",ch);
      printf("\n Ok... Now see the ASCII value");
      
      i=(int) ch; /* This the cast operator*/
      printf("ASCII value is %d:\n",i);
      
      system("pause");
      
      
      }
