    Question printing ASCII

    Hello,

    I'm wondering if there is a way to print the ASCII character when I have an ASCII value already.

    For example,

    Code:
    int value = 65;
    string character = function(65);
    is there any such a function, or similar function that will allow character = "A"?

    Thanks a lot!

    Code:
    #include <iostream>
    #include <string>
    
    int main() {
    	std::string blah;
    	blah += char(65);
    	std::cout << blah << std::endl;
    
    	return 0;
    }

    a string class is overkill on this one (no offense silentstrike).

    Just do this:

    Code:
    std::cout << (char)65 << std::endl;
    This casts it to a char and cout will treat it as such.

    He seemed to want to use the character in a string. This is illegal, assuming function returns a char...

    string character = function(65);

    I intended to show both how to convert ascii value to a character, as well as how to put that character into a string.
