Convert character to ASCII code in Javascript

my requirement is to get the ASCII value of the alphabet letters... Can anyone suggest how to do this in JavaScript?

Answer

Here is the example:

var charCode = "a".charCodeAt(0);
console.log(charCode);

Or if you have longer strings:

var string = "Some string";

for (var i = 0; i < string.length; i++) {
  console.log(string.charCodeAt(i));
}

String.charCodeAt(x) method will return ASCII character code at a given position.
