What's the simplest way to convert from a single character String to an ASCII value in Swift?

Question

I just want to get the ASCII value of a single char string in Swift. This is how I\'m currently doing it:

var singleChar = \"a\"
println(singleChar.unicodeSc         


        

Answer 1

Now in Xcode 7.1 and Swift 2.1

var singleChar = "a"

singleChar.unicodeScalars.first?.value
