ASCII table

This page was adapted from here.

ASCII stands for American Standard Code for Information Interchange. Below is the ASCII character table, including descriptions of the first 32 characters. ASCII was originally designed for use with teletypes, and so the descriptions are somewhat obscure and their use is frequently not as intended.

Java actually uses Unicode, which includes ASCII and other characters from languages around the world.

In C/C++, the char datatype is used to store an ASCII character. If we write char c = ‘5’, then c stores the value 53. If we write ‘5’-‘0’ it evaluates to 53-48, or the int 5. If we write char c = ‘B’+32; then c stores ‘b’.
