Python program to find ASCII value of a character

# python program to print ASCII
# value of a given character

# Assigning character to a variable
char_var = 'A'
# printing ASCII code
print("ASCII value of " + char_var + " is = ", ord(char_var))

char_var = 'x'
# printing ASCII code
print("ASCII value of " + char_var + " is = ", ord(char_var))

char_var = '9'
# printing ASCII code
print("ASCII value of " + char_var + " is = ", ord(char_var))

Output

ASCII value of A is =  65
ASCII value of x is =  120
ASCII value of 9 is =  57
