function Ord(X: Char):Integer;
The Ord function returns an integer value for any ordinal type Arg. It is principally used to convert characters or enumerations into their numeric equivalents.
Example
var
S : AnsiChar;
M : Char;
W : WideChar;
control : Boolean;
number : Integer;
I64 : Int64;
{
// Set type values
S = 'S';
M = 'M';
W = 'W';
control = True;
number = 22;
I64 = 64;
// Show value
ShowMessage('S = '+IntToStr(Ord(S)));
ShowMessage('M = '+IntToStr(Ord(M)));
ShowMessage('W = '+IntToStr(Ord(W)));
ShowMessage('control = '+IntToStr(Ord(control)));
ShowMessage('number = '+IntToStr(Ord(number)));
ShowMessage('I64 = '+IntToStr(Ord(I64)));
}
Output:
S = 83
M = 77
W = 87
control = -1
number = 22
I64 = 64
