Embedded/C question

[Sirrius]

I have some code here that I have been playing with to implement a elevator's computer. I have everything kind of mapped out in my head how it's going to work but am having a problem with converting a char to an int. I would like to send the char c to the thread "move( )" and use it as an int. So bacically, How do I convert a char to an int using only djgpp compiler and multi-c operating system. Here is what I am working with. void move(char c) { } void getFloor(void) { DWORD32 timeout; short c; for(;;) { BYTE8 floor; SetCursorPosition(8,10); while(!ScanCodeRdy()) MtCYield(); floor=GetScanCode(); if ( !(floor & 0x80) ) { c=ScanCode2Ascii(floor); PutString(" Floor "); PutChar(c); } } }

Conversion between int and char is implicit in C++, dunno about C. But surely a cast will do it ? Christian I have drunk the cool-aid and found it wan and bitter. - Chris Maunder

90% of the what is true in C++ is also true in C, minus class support. In other words, the conversion is implicit in C too. Take away class support and the ability to add member functions to structures and what you have is C with much better syntax checking. INTP
