How can i store both int and char in c++ array or change input to int to save time

Question

Hi ... so i was able to figured a way to solve a sudoku challenge 9×9 which was easy .. 16×16 and 25×25 but with base 10 number only...but the marker wants the numbers in base 16 to 25 im struggling to find a way like even the inputs will be given in base 16 .. by base 16 i mean A -10 ;B-11 ... and i declared my array as int so i get an error if i put A in my array...

Answer 1

I didnt get your question, but if my understanding is clear then
You can type cast it to int.

int x = (int)('a')
