title: Python Ord Function
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
## Ord function
|
|
|
|
`ord()` is a built-in function in Python 2.7 & 3, to convert the string representing one Unicode character into integer
|
|
representing the Unicode code of the character.
|
|
|
|
#### Examples:
|
|
```
|
|
>>> ord('d')
|
|
100
|
|
>>> ord('1')
|
|
49
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## chr function
|
|
|
|
`chr()` is a built-in function in Python 2.7 & 3, to convert the integer
|
|
representing the Unicode code into a string representing a corresponding character.
|
|
|
|
#### Examples:
|
|
```
|
|
>>> chr(49)
|
|
'1'
|
|
```
|
|
One thing is to be noted that, if the integer value passed to `chr()` is out of range then, a ValueError will be raised.
|
|
```
|
|
>>> chr(-10)
|
|
'Traceback (most recent call last):
|
|
File "<pyshell#24>", line 1, in <module>
|
|
chr(-1)
|
|
ValueError: chr() arg not in range(0x110000)'
|
|
```
