Ascii values

hi all!
m trying to print all the ascii values form 0 to 255. but certain values like value of 11,12,13 is not seen in the output. what colud be the reason . following is my code :

Code:

---

#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
main()
{
int iNum;
clrscr();
printf("ASCII CHART-->");
  for(iNum=0;iNum<=255;iNum++)
  printf("%d=%c\t",iNum.iNum);
getch();
return 0;
}

Some characters have no printable representation. Try using isprint() from ctype.h, which returns true for any printable character, including space:

Code:

---

#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>

#include <ctype.h>

main()
{
int iNum;
clrscr();
printf("ASCII CHART-->");
    for(iNum=0;iNum<=255;iNum++)
        if (isprint(iNum))
            printf("%d=%c\t",iNum.iNum);
        else
            printf("%d (unprintable)\t");
getch();
return 0;
}

Anything less than 32 is reserved for various control characters, such as newline and carriage return.

Thanks for the above code.but now values only upto 126 are being displayed, rest is shown as unprintable

Sounds plausible. There are only 128 characters in ASCII anyway.

It would help if you'd look up ASCII. From wikipedia:

"ASCII includes definitions for 128 characters: 33 are non-printing control characters ..."

All your questions so far answered in part of one sentence.

Now, there are some extensions to ASCII that put some additional things in the range 128-255, but I don't think it's pure ASCII.

Those extensions are highly regionalized (i.e. different for France than Germany than USA than Canada). Thus the bad old days of DOS code pages and windows Locations... The extension is commonly referred to as the ANSI character code.

If he wants to see them he'll need to find his compiler's switch for "Char type is unsigned" and recompile...
