c++ and ASCII

[renoroc05]

hi,

I need help with how to display the ASCII code for a character in c++. I'm new to the syntax of c++ and it's driving me mad. Also I need a push in the right direction for writing a program that reads in a " " <space> as a character. What sort of data type should I use. I'm not asking for the code for this program just  a push in the right direction, I do want to figure most of it out myself. I guess that I'm stuck atm.

Thx

main()

{
int c;
c=getch();
cout<<"\nthe ascii code for the key you pressed   "<<c;

getch();
}

this code will show you the ascii code of the key that you've pressed

eg  ascii code for a is 65;
