// ASCII Code from User Input

int main() {
    // Step 1: Declare a character variable to store user input.
    char inputChar;

    // Step 2: Prompt the user to enter a character.
    printf("Enter a character: ");

    // Step 3: Read the character from the user.
    // Use " %c" to consume any leftover newline character from previous inputs,
    // though for a fresh input, "%c" is often sufficient.
    scanf(" %c", &inputChar);

    // Step 4: Print the character and its ASCII value.
    printf("The ASCII value of '%c' is %d\n", inputChar, inputChar);
