How to Display ASCII Character in Python

Submitted by razormist on Thursday, September 12, 2024 - 23:47.

In this tutorial, we will program 'How to Display ASCII Character in Python.' We will learn how to display the ASCII value of characters we enter. The objective is to safely convert a character to its corresponding ASCII value. I will provide a sample program to demonstrate the actual coding process in this tutorial.

This topic is very easy to understand. Just follow the instructions I provide, and you'll be able to do it yourself with ease. The program I’ll show you demonstrates the proper way to convert character values to ASCII. I'll do my best to provide a simple method for displaying ASCII characters. So, let's start coding!

Getting Started:

First you will have to download & install the Python IDLE's, here's the link for the Integrated Development And Learning Environment for Python https://www.python.org/downloads/.

Creating Main Function

This is the main function of the application. The following code will display a simple GUI in terminal console that will display program. To do this, simply copy and paste these blocks of code into the IDLE text editor.
  1. ret = False
  2.  
  3. while True:
  4.         print("\n================= Display ASCII Character =================\n\n")
  5.  
  6.  
  7.         print("Enter a String: ", end="")
  8.         text = input()
  9.         textlength = len(text)
  10.         for char in text:
  11.                 ascii = ord(char)
  12.                 print(char, "\t", ascii)
  13.  
  14.         opt = input("\nDo you want to try again?(yes/no): ")
  15.  
  16.         if opt.lower() == 'yes':
  17.                 ret=False
  18.         elif opt.lower() == 'no':
  19.                 ret=True
  20.                 print("Exiting program....")
  21.  
  22.         else:
  23.                 print("Please enter yes/no:")
  24.                 break
  25.  
  26.         if ret == False:
  27.                 continue

This Python script displays the ASCII value of each character in a user-provided string. It prompts the user to input a string, then iterates through the string, printing each character alongside its ASCII value using the ord() function. The program runs in a loop, allowing the user to try again or exit based on their input. The loop continues until the user chooses to stop.

Output:

There you have it we successfully created How to Display ASCII Character in Python. I hope that this simple tutorial help you to what you are looking for. For more updates and tutorials just kindly visit this site. Enjoy Coding!
