An ASCII example

We can easily loop through a string, letter by letter, using a for loop. The Python built in function
ord() returns the integer number representing the ASCII code.

eBook
The ord() function will return a value representing the UNICODE number for
that character. Because ASCII is a sub-set of UNICODE, this function will return
the ASCII values for ASCII characters.
