Hello guys, I don't understand why the output is 106 can anyone help please?

Question

public class Program
{
public static void main(String[] args) {
char a='2',b='8';
System.out.println(a+b);
}
}

Answer 1

Because ascii value of '2' is 50 and '8' is 56 if you want the letter 'j' just cast it System.out.print((char)(a+b));

Answer 2

If you look at an ASCII table, '2' is not 2, but 32 (hex), or 50 (dec). Same for character '8': his value is 6 units more, 56.
50 + 56 = 106!
