Convert character into it's ASCII value with JavaScript

Question

How can you convert a character into it's ASCII value using JavaScript? I had an idea for password encrypter and I need to get values from all the characters from the password string.

Answer 1

Use charCodeAt().

Example of use:
"ABC".charCodeAt(0) is 65 (ASCII code of 'A').

To do the opposite, use String.fromCharCode().

Example of use:
String.fromCharCode(65) is 'A'.
String.fromCharCode(65, 66, 67) is "ABC".
