Hi Lynx,
> How should one print the actual value of a character?
Any of these will work:
printf("Character value of %s is %d.\n", "a", 'a');
printf("Character value of %s is %d.\n", "a", 'a' & 0xFF);
printf("Character value of %s is %u.\n", "a", 'a');
printf("Character value of %s is %u.\n", "a", 'a' & 0xFF);
Remember that char and short get promoted to int as parameters.
Without the 0xFF, the character could have sign extension, if that's what
you want. (I assumed 8-bit char.)
