In a book of this sort it is traditional to have an appendix with an ASCII table. This book does not. Instead, here is a short C program that generates a complete ASCII table and writes it to the file ASCII.txt.
Example R-1. A C program to generate an ASCII table

/* Generate ASCII table */

/*********************************************/
#include <stdio.h>
#define MAX 255 /* FF hex */
#define FILENAME "ASCII.txt" /* Outfile name */
int main()
{
int i;
FILE *fp;
fp = fopen (FILENAME, "a" );
for( i = 1; i <= MAX; i++ ) {
fprintf( fp, "%5d ", i );
fputc( i, fp );
fprintf( fp, " " );
if ( i % 5 == 0 )
fprintf( fp, "\n" );
}
fprintf( fp, "\n" );
return (0);
} /* Outfile needs a bit of hand-editing for tidying up. */
/* Try rewriting this as a shell script. */
/* Not so easy, huh? */ |
To build (compile) the program: gcc -O2 ascii.c -o ascii-table
