Changing key stroke to ASCII in TRUE Basic.

Thread Starter 
I'm at school and stuck on a project, using TRUE basic. We have to get the user to type in a key, then take the key and find the ASCII code, and then print both. I've got the input for the key but all of us are completely stuck on the ASCII part.

Any ideas?

Thanks

I've got:

call get_keystroke
call calculate_ascii
call print_code

sub get_keystroke
input prompt "Please enter a keystroke ":keystroke$
end sub

sub calculate_ascii
end sub

sub print_code
end sub
end

As you can see I've only done the first part as we are stumped by the whole ASCII thing

You can use ORD(A$) which returns the ASCII value of the first character in A$
