Get ASCII Value of a Character
To get ASCII value of a given character in Python, call the builtin function ord() and character as argument. ord() returns an integer value representing the ASCII value of given character.
Example
In this example, we write a function to read a character (one character string) from user, and get the ASCII value of it using ord() function.
Python Program
ch = input('Enter a character : ')
ascii = ord(ch)
print('ASCII Value :', ascii)
CopyOutput #1
Enter a character : B
ASCII Value : 66
Output #2
Enter a character : m
ASCII Value : 109
Summary
In this Python Examples tutorial, we learned how to get the ASCII value of a character using ord() builtin function.
