CHR(IEXP) (STRING)
Function
Converts an ASCII code (0-255) to a character.
Syntax
CHR(iexp)
iexp = Any integer expression between 0 and 255.
Return Type & Value
STRING
Returns a one character long string for ASCII codes from
1 to 255 or an empty string for ASCII code 0.
Remarks
In other languages (such as BASIC) you can have any of the 256 possible
ASCII codes (0-255) in a string. In PPL you are limited to 255 codes (1-
255) because ASCII 0 is used to terminate strings and can't appear in the
middle of a string. So, if you ever get an empty string from this
function, it is because you passed it a 0. Any other value will return
a valid string with a single character.
Examples
PRINTLN "The ASCII code for S is ",ASC("S")
' Convert a lowercase s to uppercase
STRING s
LET s = CHR(ASC("s")-ASC("a")+ASC("A"))
