Last Updated : December 15, 2025

Problem Solution

In this program, we will create some character variables and print the corresponding ASCII values using the ord() function.

Program/Source Code

The source code to print the ASCII value of a given character is given below. The given program is compiled and executed successfully.

# Ruby program to print ASCII value 
# of given character

ch1 = 'A';
ch2 = 'C';
ch3 = 'a';
ch4 = 'd';

print "ASCII value of 'ch1' is: ",ch1.ord(),"\n";
print "ASCII value of 'ch2' is: ",ch2.ord(),"\n";
print "ASCII value of 'ch3' is: ",ch3.ord(),"\n";
print "ASCII value of 'ch4' is: ",ch4.ord(),"\n";

Output

ASCII value of 'ch1' is: 65
ASCII value of 'ch2' is: 67
ASCII value of 'ch3' is: 97
ASCII value of 'ch4' is: 100

Explanation

In the above program, we created 4 variables ch1, ch2, ch3, ch4 initialized with 'A', 'C', 'a', 'D' respectively. Then we got the ASCII value of characters using the ord() function and printed the result.
