Question

Well the title pretty much sums it up. I want to use something like asc(\"0\") in C++, and want to make the program platform independent so don\'t want to use 48! Any help a

Answer 1

In C and C++, if you use a character enclosed by '' and not "" it means you are dealing with its raw binary value already.

Now, in C and C++, "0" is a literal two byte null-terminated string: '0' and '\0'. (ascii 48 ascii 0)

You can achieve what you want by using var[0] on a "" null-terminated string or use one of the conversion routines. (atoi() in C, stringstream lib in C++)
