Answer 1

use this code :
class Empty {
    public static void main(String args[])
        String s = "Hello"; // lets say string is hello
    char[] chars= new char[s.length()];
    int[] ints = new int[chars.length];
    s.getChars(0,s.length(),chars,0);
    for(int i=0;i<chars.length;i++) {
        ints=(int)chars[i];
System.out.println(chars[i]+" = "+ints[i]);
it works
