*Answer: It seems that you've assigned a character (e.g. '7') to an int variable (e.g. x). The value of x is the ASCII value of '7'. If you display the value of x, that's what you will get. The solution is to do the proper conversion (from char to int, and vice versa) correctly. I hope this helps. --Peter

Q1: How do I submit "two individual reports that consist of peer evaluation, programming experience and team work experience"?

  • Answer: Submit them individually at Blackboard. For peer evaluation, use a scale from 0 (lowest) to 5 (highest).

Q2: When trying to display the value of the col number received in the display function, we saw the ascii char value instead of the integer decimal value that we expected. Can anyone suggest how to display the integer decimal value?

  • Answer: It seems that you've assigned a character (e.g. '7') to an int variable (e.g. x). The value of x is the ASCII value of '7'. If you display the value of x, that's what you will get.
