Example

The following example demonstrates converting char values to byte values.

C# Example

using System;
class ConvertByteTest {
    static public void Main() {
        char char0 = '0';
        char char1 = '1';
        char char2 = 'a'; 
        byte byte0 = Convert.ToByte(char0);
        byte byte1 = Convert.ToByte(char1);
        byte byte2 = Convert.ToByte(char2);
        Console.WriteLine("(char) {0} as byte = {1}",char0,byte0);
        Console.WriteLine("(char) {0} as byte = {1}",char1,byte1);
        Console.WriteLine("(char) {0} as byte = {1}",char2,byte2);
    }
}

The output is

(char) 0 as byte = 48
(char) 1 as byte = 49
(char) a as byte = 97
