ASCII Value Program

1.What Is Ascii?
ASCII stands for American Standard Code for Information Interchange.

In simple words:
ASCII is a system that gives a number to every character.
Because computers don't understand letters, they only understand numbers.

name="silambu9371@gmail.com"
for(i=0;i<name.length;i++)
{
    console.log(name[i]+ " = " + name.charCodeAt(i));
}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Output:

Explanation:

i = 0 → starts from first character

name.length → total number of characters

i++ → moves to next character

Gets character at position i

Example:
name[0] → 's'
name[1] → 'i'
name[2] → 'l'

name.charCodeAt(i)

Converts character → ASCII number

Example:
's' → 115
'i' → 105
'l' → 108
'a' → 97

Prints: character = ASCII value
