	I have String name = "admin"; then i do String char = name.substring(0,1); //char="a" I want to convert the char to it's ASCII value (97), how can i do this in java? asked 12 mins ago

	Instead of this: String char = name.substring(0,1); //char="a" You should use the charAt() method. char c = name.charAt(0); // c='a' int ascii = (int)c; answered 11 mins ago

	Very simple. Just cast your char as an int. char character = 'a'; int ascii = (int) character; In your case, you need to get the specific Character from the String first and then cast it. Though cast is not required explicitly, but its improves readability. int ascii = character; // Even this will do the trick. answered 12 mins ago

	Just cast the char to an int. char character = 'a'; int number = (int) character; The value of number will be 97. answered 11 mins ago

	It's simple, get the character you want, and convert it to int. String name = "admin"; int ascii = name.charAt(0); answered 7 mins ago

	Convert the char to int. String name = "admin"; int ascii = name.toCharArray()[0]; Also : int ascii = name.charAt(0); answered 9 mins ago

If you wanted to convert the entire string into concatenated ASCII values then you can use this - String str = "abc"; // or anything else StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(); for (char c : str.toCharArray()) sb.append((int)c); BigInteger mInt = new BigInteger(sb.toString()); System.out.println(mInt); wherein you will get 979899 as output. Credit to this. I just copied it here so that it would be convenient for others. answered 5 mins ago

	just a different approach String s = "admin"; byte[] bytes = s.getBytes("US-ASCII"); bytes[0] will represent ascii of a.. and thus the other characters in the whole array. answered 5 mins ago
