// Note: Some compilers do not like the repeated "for (int k ..."
// statement. A common trick to work around that anachronism, is to
// define the following macro:
// #define for if (0) ; else for

#include <iostream>

char const char_table[] =
   "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789-*&@. \\~";

int main() {
   // Do not include the terminating null of chartable!
   // Decimal first:
   for (int k = 0; k<sizeof(char_table)-1; ++k)
      std::cout << char_table[k] << '\t'
                << dec << int(char_table[k]) << std::endl;
    // Or, since dec is the default:
    for (int k = 0; k<sizeof(char_table)-1; ++k)
       std::cout << char_table[k] << '\t'
                 << int(char_table[k]) << std::endl;
   // Hexadecimal:
