Answer 1

×256 🤔🤔🤔

Answer 2

This is whats happening with "ab"

"a" * 256 + "b" = 24930

this happends everytime when theres more then one char inside " " if you want to add them seprate do this

cout << "ASCII Value of ab is " <<int ('a'+'b')<<endl;

Answer 3

😮

sorry

and Thank you very much for help

Answer 4

just one doubt again
why is it
multiplied by 256 and then adding ascii of b

Answer 5

code prints when I write
cout << "ASCII Value of ab is " <<int('ab')<<endl

output : ASCII Value of ab is 24930

what about this 24930 how does it come..?

I respect your answer you are adding the ASCII values of 'a' and 'b' which are 67 and 68 if I am not wrong

but I want to know about the 24930 how does it come

and meanwhile I was thought that if you write 'ab' that is two characters in single quotes it will give you error because single characters has there own ASCII values
it is not giving me the error too, it accepts 2 characters in single quotes

please help me about it

how can it accept 2 characters in single quote and if it can how will it stored them in memory.....
