Finding ASCII code

I have a char variable with the character 'a' in it. How can i find the ASCII value of this?

p.s. I know its the ASCII value of 'a', but i need to use my program to find it.

In C/C++, you can simply cast a char to an int in order to see it's character code.

Code:

---

char c = 'a';

cout << "the code for " << c << " is: " << (int)c << endl;

---

Hope this helps.
