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

Swift 4

print("c".utf8["c".utf8.startIndex])

or

let cu = "c".utf8
print(cu[cu.startIndex])

Both print 99. Works for any ASCII character.
