Figuring Out Functions

The Function Armoury - Ord
|
Ord
|
Syntax: Ord (character)
|
This function is the Chr function's partner in crime. The Ord function will convert a character to its ASCII code equivalent. As I mentioned in the previous function, this can be used to convert uppercase letters to lower case letters. Let's see how the conversion works, in doing so, we will see how the Ord function works.
Set Variable: "upperCaseLetter" = "A"
Set Variable: "upperNumber" = Ord (upperCaseLetter)
Set Variable: "lowerNumber" = upperNumber + 32
Set Variable: "lowerCaseLetter" = Chr (lowerNumber)
|
upperCaseLetter = "A"
upperNumber = 65
lowerNumber = 97
lowerCaseLetter = "a"
|
There you have it. Code that will convert uppercase letters to lowercase letters. Note the number 32 used in the third line of code. This performs the conversion since there are 32 characters separating the letters "a" and "A". (see what an ASCII table looks like)
