Description

The 'char-int' function returns the decimal ASCII value of the 'char' expression.

Examples

(char-int #\0)              => 48
(char-int #\A)              => 65
(char-int #\a)              => 97

(char-int (int-char 255))   => 255

Note: In Nyquist/XLISP, char-code and 'char-int' are two different functions, but behave exactly the same [Nyquist 3.03, December 2010].
