Can we use the features of writing character values for a given integer as in c in c++?

Question

printf("%c",65);//outputs A in c
printf("%d",'B');//outputs 66 in c

without using typecast,is there other methods available in c++?

Answer 1

#include <iostream>

int main()
{
char x = 42;
std::cout << +x << "\n"; // prints 42
std::cout << x << "\n"; // prints *
}
