How to get the ASCII value of a character

To get the ASCII value of a character in Python, you can use the built-in ord() function. The ord() function takes a single character as an argument and returns the corresponding ASCII value.

Here is an example code snippet:

<div class="alert alert-info flex not-prose"> <span class="hidden md:block">Watch a video course </span> Python - The Practical Guide</div>

You can also use the ord() function with a string, but it will only return the ASCII value of the first character in the string.
