A char is an integral type. When you write. you're setting the value of ch to whatever number your compiler uses to represent the character 'A' . That's usually the ASCII code for 'A' these days, but that's not required. You're almost certainly using a system that uses ASCII. Like any numeric type, you can initialize it with an ordinary number: If you want do do arithmetic on a char value, just do it: ch = ch + 1; etc. However, in order to display the value you have to get around the assumption in the iostreams library that you want to display char values as characters rather than numbers. There are a couple of ways to do that. share | improve this answer.
