C: Display A Char's Numerical Value.


The char type in C is an integer which gets decoded as a character. You can print the char's numerical type.

// Display a char and it's numerical value.

#include <stdio.h>

int main(int argv, char* argc[])
{
    char c = 0;
    printf("Enter a character: \n");
    scanf(" %c", &c);
    printf("The character: %c\nIt's numerical value: %d\n", c, c);

    return 0;
}

C++ Crash Course: Solutions to Exercises in Part 1, Chapter 1.

For the last while, I have been busy with ESP32 and Arduino programming, but now I finally have time to ram through this book and the exercises. There are a few repositories on Github where people have offered solutions to some of these exercises, but I find that they are often not complete. Therefore, I am endeavouring to make a more complete listing, or at least fill in some of the holes. Here is a video and a link to the repository for the solutions to Part 1, Chapter 1. The exercises can be found at the end of each chapter. I am back-tracking a bit from where I am in Part 1 Chapter 5, which is where I am currently studying.

C++ Crash Course: Solution to Exercise 3-4.

Image
My solution to Exercise 3-4 from Part 1, Chapter 3 of C++ Crash Course. This one was fairly straightforward, but it illustrates a very important thing on line 13. When you assign new_value to the reference original_ref , it assigns the value to the int that original_ref is pointing to. The result is that new_value and original both have the same value, 200.
