public class Main {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        char characterInput = 'A';
        int ascii = characterInput;

        System.out.println("The Ascii value of " + characterInput + " is: " + ascii);
    }
}

Output

The Ascii value of A is: 65

Explanation

• In this java program, the character "A" is stored in a variable of type char.
• we just assign the character variable to integer which would be converted by Java internally to the integer (ascii value).
• The result is displayed in the console using System.out.print function.

note

1. Single quotes (') is used to declare characters in Java. Double quotes(") is used to declare strings in java.
2. Alternatively, You can find the ascii value by casting the character to integer using (int)
