Asc.bas

ASC

Converts a specified character of a given string into the ASCII code equivalent.

Syntax

variable = asc(A$,n)
Where A$ is a string variable and N defines which character in the string we are interested in.

Requirements

ASC is a library function that must be included before it can be used. Use the following directive:

#include <asc.bas>

Remarks

  • This function is for FreeBASIC compatibility. See FreeBasic - ASC for details.
  • The return on this function is generally identical to that of CODE(A$(n)), though it will return 0, not an error, if invoked to return the ascii code of a character beyond the length of the string.
