# String defined by the ASCII codes of its characters: char

### 5.3.9 String defined by the ASCII codes of its characters: char

The char command translates ASCII codes to strings.

- char takes one argument:
  c, an integer representing an ASCII code or a list of ASCII codes.
- char(c) returns the string whose character has ASCII code c or whose characters have ASCII codes the elements of the list c.

#### Example.

Input:

char([97,98,99,100])

Output:

"abcd"

Input:

char(97)

Output:

"a"

Note that there are 256 ASCII codes, 0 through 255. If asc is given an integer c not in that range, it will use the integer in that range which equals c modulo 256.
Input:

char(353)

Output:

"a"

because 353−256=97.
