Convert String value to HEX

Using Arduino Programming Questions
1

I need to know how to convert char to its decimal equivalent for example I have J in a char array I need to convert it to 74 which is the decimal equalant for J in ASCII.
Tried atoi,atol didn't help
also tried creating an array from 0- 100 like this char ascii[ ]={'','','','','',''} but It doesn't work after ♪ character
Any help is appreciated
Thanks

Serial.print ('J', HEX);

You will need to apply appropriate indices.

Thank you for the reply but how can I put char array element into something like this and get the output to an integer?

You could cast the char element to a byte or unsigned integer.

all data is binary. you can represent data it in many different ways that are all equivalent

the code below produces

 val is 74
 val is 'J'
 val is 0x4A
    0 0x00  
    1 0x01  
    2 0x02
