ASC
Function ASC returns the decimal ASCII value of the first character
of a string variable. For a list of ASCII codes used with
HUNTER Basic see section 9.2.
Syntax ASC( "STRING")
Examples Y=ASC(X$(3))
PRINT ASC("A")
will print 65
10 T$="AB
11
20 PRINT ASC(T$)
will also print 65, since "A" is the first character.
Remarks The string argument must be enclosed in parentheses.
ASC is particularly useful for detecting special characters
like control codes, and/or distinguishing them from digits
0-9 or characters A-Z.
