    cast it to a char

    (char)<ascii code>


    Of course this works only for 0-255 (or actually since it's signed it should be -128 to 127)

    char should usually be an unsigned quantity, since a negative character code doesn't mean anything.

    But it isn't always.

    What do you mean by "converting an ASCII code to a character"? The computer makes no distinction between an ASCII code and the appropriate character. It's all about how you output it.
