Summary: Learn how to convert a string into an array of ASCII values using Python. This guide covers the straightforward process of converting each character in a string to its corresponding ASCII value and storing them in an array.

If you're working with text processing or encoding tasks in Python, you may often need to convert a string into its ASCII representation. Python provides a simple way to achieve this by converting each character in the string to its corresponding ASCII value and storing them in an array. Below, I'll walk you through the straightforward process of converting a string to an array of ASCII values using Python.

In the code snippet above:

We first define the input string input_string.

Then, we initialize an empty array ascii_array to store the ASCII values.

Next, we iterate through each character in the input string using a for loop.

Within the loop, the ord() function is used to convert each character to its corresponding ASCII value, and then we append that value to the ascii_array.

Finally, we print the resulting ascii_array, which contains the ASCII values of each character in the input string.

When you run this code with the provided input_string, you'll get the following output:

Each number in the output represents the ASCII value of the corresponding character in the input string.

Converting a string to an array of ASCII values is a simple yet essential operation in text processing and encoding tasks. With Python's built-in functions like ord(), this task becomes straightforward and efficient.
