    To find the ASCII value of a character in Python, you can use the built-in ord() function. This function takes a single character as input and returns its corresponding ASCII value.

    Example:

    # Get ASCII value of a character
    char = 'A'
    ascii_value = ord(char)
    print(f"ASCII value of '{char}' is: {ascii_value}")
    Copied!

    Output:

    ASCII value of 'A' is: 65
    Copied!

    Explanation:

    The ord() function converts the character 'A' into its ASCII equivalent, which is 65. Similarly, you can use this function for any character.

    Additional Example with User Input:

    # Get ASCII value from user input
    char = input("Enter a character: ")
    ascii_value = ord(char)
    print(f"ASCII value of '{char}' is: {ascii_value}")
    Copied!

    Input:

    Enter a character: @
    Copied!

    Output:

    ASCII value of '@' is: 64
    Copied!

    Important Notes:

    • The ord() function works only for single characters.

    • If you need to convert an ASCII value back to its character, use the chr() function:

    print(chr(65)) # Output: A
    Copied!

    This method is efficient and widely used for encoding-related tasks in Python.

    How do I convert ASCII characters to a Python code?

    The accepted answer is correct, but there is a more clever/efficient way to do this if you need to convert a whole bunch of ASCII characters to their ASCII codes at once. Instead of doing: code = ord(ch) or the slightly faster: you convert to Python native types that iterate the codes directly. On Python 3, it's trivial:
