toascii()

Header file:

    ctype.h

Synopsis:

    int toascii (int input);

Description:

    converts the given input to a 7-bit unsigned char value that fits into the ASCII character set, by clearing the high-order bits.

Return Value:

   returns 7 bit unsigned char value that fits into the ASCII character set.

Sample Program:

---

  /*

   * This example prints encodings of the 7-bit US-ASCII 

   * characters 65 to 75 are mapped to by toascii().

   */

  #include<stdio.h>
  #include<ctype.h>
  int main() {
        int c;
        for (c = 65; c <= 75; c++)
                printf("toascii(%d) : %c\n", c, toascii(c));
        return 0;
  }
 

  Output:
