Thread: stupid question of the day

1) dont you have a compiler to test it
2) learn the ASCII table or have an ASCII table in handy

well once again i am bored

Code:

char x = 'g'-'a'+'A';

cout << x << endl;
//hmm it should output 'G' or 71 in ASCII

You shouldn't need an ascii table.

All lowercase letters are consecutive and all uppercase letters are consecutive so a lower case letter minus lowercase a will give you the offset in the alphabet (a is 0, b is 1 ... z is 25). So adding the offset to capital A will give you the capital version of the letter.
