Check out Appendix K of the Ada LRM (available online at
http://www.adapower.com, if you don't have your own).

i can't find it, why ? translate real or other into integer is simple using
x:= integer(y),  why not for character to ascii or character to integer ?

for example in Pascal there is the functin Ord to convert character to ascii
x:= ord(y);

thanks

David.

The corresponding operation in Ada is:

  x := Character'Pos( y );

What's the difference between a character 'x' and an ascii 'x'?
If you are talking about position in the list of characters,
  n : integer := character'pos('x');   -- set n to 120
  c : character := character'val(121); -- set c to 'y'
It's in Appendix K, though I grant it doesn't exactly jump out at you.

True. The reason I pointed David to Annex K rather than just tell him,
is so that he'd have to read through the Annex. There's lots of other
very important stuff in there (eg: 'val, 'image) that anyone programming
Ada at *any* level needs to know about.

True. This is a good approachfor any kind of real learning (don't give
fish, give fishing rods...). The case for Annex K is even stronger. 
I routinely direct  my students  to Annex K (and A...)
