ascii value for the arrow keys

what would the ascii value for the up and down arrow keys? What I have so far.

I have a counter. I want the arrow keys (up and down) to allow you increment or decrement the counter. I would use a switch statement to get this, but i need to know how to distingush the 2 keys. right now if i read them in as ints, i get -32 for both... Any suggestions?

Im not sure if you can use the arrow keys in dos but hey i dont know

Find out with the code below what values the keys return
my system returns something like
72,75,80 and something else....
Most keys place only one value in the buffer... the arrow keys however place 2 224, ? depending on which arrow key was pressed. That is why I test for the value 224. Your system may or may not place that value there....

Code:

---

#include<iostream.h>
#include<conio.h>

void main(void)
{
       
        while(1)
        {
              while(!kbhit());
              int i = getch();
               
              if( i == '0')
            break;

            if( i == 224 ) //whenever an arrow key is pressse my
          i = getch(); //system returns 224 prior to the key val

            cout << "You pressed key number: " << i << endl;
    }

}
