I know Ascii value isn't quite the correct term, but it's the only one
I could come up with.
What Im trying to come up with is the simplest way of coming up with the
numeric value associated with a given character, and to go back the
other direction as well. In VB, these are the ASC() and
Thanks!

char is a numeric type. You might try this code as an example:
char c = 32;
c += '@';
if(c 31) System.out.println(c + = + (int)c);
The exception is it adds to strings as a character, thus the cast is needed.

I've never used char types; I'm so used to using Strings I don't even
think of it. Thanks!

The first 127 characters of Unicode are in fact ASCII (might be the
first 255, I'm not sure, but the first 127 for sure). In other words,
it you do:
int i = (int)'A';
Not a char, a String (or more specifically, a specific character
extracted from a String).

Hum... I am missing something or you just want to cast a char to a byte/int
in Java?
char x = 'B'; // or Bravo.charAt(0) if you start with a string
byte y = (byte) x;
Integer myInt = myString.asc( myString.substring( 1, 2 )) // would
return 66 if the asc() method existed
int b = (int)myString.charAt(1);
or, in 1.5
int b = (int)(myString.substring(1,2).charAt(0)));
?
in java you don't need asc, since each char can be assign to an
integer an vice versa
