ascii value and conversions
Originally reported on Google Code with ID 508
Add a function that reports the value of the specified ascii character.
For example
ascii('A')
=65
If we want to expand it further we can consider processing full strings and using speedcruch
as utility for conversion.
example
asciiTohex("HELLO")
= 48 45 4C 4C 4F

Account Deleted This would be a very helpful feature, saving me the time consulting the ascii table.

repo owner We need to think about adding the char and string types...

I think this should not be a priority. Adding chars and strings (thus essentially arrays/vectors) and giving SC a multitype engine is a really daunting task. It should be a calculator, not a general purpose programming language! I have said this before, but I am having mixed feelings about matrix/vector/strings in SC.
Instead of trying to make SpeedCrunch more like existing tools (e.g. python, Matlab) shouldn't we focus on improving the components that the other tools actually lack? Personally, I am using SC because it's small, neat and fast. The requested feature here is IMO badly suited for SC. It will be just as fast to fire up a python shell which can do the exact thing (and a lot more!).
