    Please, all newbies.
    Instead of making subjects like "Im so stupid help me with this extremely dumb question" just do it like "Help me with x function" or something instead. Im tired of seeing all these "Dumb question" posts.
    No question is dumb!

    yep, anyway, you can also do this:

    cout<<char(#)<<endl; // whereas # is the ASCII value (an integer) of the character.
    think only with code.
    write only with source.

    cout << (char)# << endl;
