Saving ASCII code

[NavyBlue]

How do i save the ASCII value? I'm trying to add the ASCII value for each character in a string.

Conversions from a char to an int type are already built into C. For example:

int number;
char letter = 'm';

number = 'm';       /* number now holds the ascii value for m */

Ascii values of a string would probably require a loop to find the sum of the ascii values of each character within the character array.
