How to convert a character to Int32 in C#
Theodore Kelechukwu OnyejiakuOverview
Characters can be converted to an Int32 type in a simple way. An Int32 datatype means a 32-bit signed integer representation that can be negative or positive.
Syntax
Convert.ToInt32(character)
Syntax to convert a Character to Int32 in C#
Parameters
character: This is the character we want to convert to a 32-bit signed integer.
Return value
It returns a 32-bit signed integer that is the equivalent of the character.
Code example
Let's look at the code below:
using System;
class HelloWorld
{
static void Main()
{
// create some characters
char char1 = 'A';
char char2 = 'z';
char char3 = 'R';
char char4 = '@';
char char5 = '0';
// print the values and their types
Console.WriteLine("value of char1: {0}, type of char1: {1}", char1, char1.GetType());
Console.WriteLine("value of char2: {0}, type of char2: {1}", char2, char2.GetType());
Console.WriteLine("value of char3: {0}, type of char3: {1}", char3, char3.GetType());
Console.WriteLine("value of char4: {0}, type of char4: {1}", char4, char4.GetType());
Console.WriteLine("value of char5: {0}, type of char5: {1}", char5, char5.GetType());
//converting to Int32 & printing values & types
Console.WriteLine("\nvalue: {0}, type: {1}", Convert.ToInt32(char1), Convert.ToInt32(char1).GetType());
Console.WriteLine("value: {0}, type: {1}", Convert.ToInt32(char2), Convert.ToInt32(char2).GetType());
Console.WriteLine("value: {0}, type: {1}", Convert.ToInt32(char3), Convert.ToInt32(char3).GetType());
Console.WriteLine("value: {0}, type: {1}", Convert.ToInt32(char4), Convert.ToInt32(char4).GetType());
Console.WriteLine("value: {0}, type: {1}", Convert.ToInt32(char5), Convert.ToInt32(char5).GetType());
}
}Convert a Character to Int32 in C#
Code explanation:
- Lines 7 to 11: We create some characters.
- Lines 14 to 18: We print these characters and their class type using the
GetType()method. - Lines 21 to 25: We convert the characters to
Int32type using theConvert.ToInt32(), and print the values and their types to the console.
