how to get the ascii value of a character

Question

How do I get the ASCII value of a character as an int in Python?

Answer 1

 This can be achieved through the use of below two  function:

• ord(): helps to extract out the int value of the respective character.

• chr():helps to again convert the int value into its respective character.

For ex:

ord(‘p’)

>>112

chr(112)

>>p

You can also perform operation like

chr(ord(‘p’)-15)

>>a
