Getting the ASCII value of a character
Method
1 Console.WriteLine("please enter a word:");
2 string word = Console.ReadLine();
3
4 foreach(char c in word)
5 {
6 int ascii = Convert.ToInt32(c);
7 Console.WriteLine(c + " in ASCII is " + ascii);
8 }
9
10 Console.ReadLine();
Line 1 & 2 will prompt for the word and store it in a variable called word.
Line 4 is a for loop which will cycle through each character in the word in turn. The current character will be called `c`.
Now you have a `char` you can just convert it to an integer to get the ascii value.
