How to convert an integer to a character in Python?

To convert an integer to a character in Python, we can use the chr() method. The chr() is a Python built−in method that returns a character from an integer. The method takes an integer value and returns a unicode character corresponding to that integer.

Syntax

char(number)

Parameter

The method takes a single integer between the range of 0 to 1,114,111.

Return Value

A unicode character of the corresponding integer argument. And it will raies a ValueError if we pass an out of range value (i,e. range(0x110000)). Also it will raise TypeError − for a non−integer argument.

Example

In this example, we have used the chr() method to convert an integer 100 to the corresponding unicode characters. Here, the method returns a character d for the given integer.

number = 100

# apply chr() function on integer value
result = chr(number)
print("Integer - {} converted to character -".format(number), result)

Output

Integer - 100 converted to character - d

Example

From this example we can see that the unicode character of 35 is #, and for 2000 is ߐ.

number1 = 35
number2 = 2000

# apply chr() function on integer values
print("Integer - {} converted to character -".format(number1), chr(number1))
print("Integer - {} converted to character -".format(number2), chr(number2))

Output

Integer - 35 converted to character - #
Integer - 2000 converted to character - ߐ

Example

In this example we have passed a negative integer that is out of range, so that the method returns a ValueError.

number = -100

# apply chr() function on out of range  value
print(chr(number))

Output

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/cg/root/62945/main.py", line 4, in <module>
    print(chr(number))
ValueError: chr() arg not in range(0x110000)

Example

In here, we have passed An integer that is outside the range, so that the method returns a ValueError.

number = 1114113

# apply chr() function on out range  value
print(chr(number))

Output

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/cg/root/69710/main.py", line 4, in <module>
    print(chr(number))
ValueError: chr() arg not in range(0x110000)

Example

In this example, we have passed a Non−Integer argument to the chr() method. Due to this the method returns a TypeError.

Parameter_ = 'abc'

# apply chr() function on non integer value
print(chr(Parameter_))

Output

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/cg/root/40075/main.py", line 4, in 
    print(chr(Parameter_))
TypeError: 'str' object cannot be interpreted as an integer
