Python chr() (With Examples)

Python chr()

In this tutorial, you will learn about the python chr() method with the help of examples.

The chr() method converts an integer to its unicode character and returns it.

Example

print(chr(97))

# Output: a


print(chr(98))

#  Output: b

chr() Syntax

The syntax of chr() is:

chr(number)

chr() Parameter

The chr() method takes in a single parameter:

  • number - an integer number in the range 0 to 1,114,111

chr() Return Value

The chr() method returns:

  • a unicode character of the corresponding integer argument (in the range 0 to 1,114,111)
  • ValueError - for an out of range integer number
  • TypeError - for a non-integer argument

Example 1: Python chr() with Integer Numbers

print(chr(97))
print(chr(65))
print(chr(1200))

Output

a
A
Ұ

In the above example, we have used the chr() method to convert different integers to their corresponding unicode characters. Here,

  • a is the unicode character of 97
  • A is the unicode character of 65
  • Ұ is the unicode character of 1200

Example 2: chr() with Out of Range Integer

print(chr(-1000))
print(chr(1114113))

Output

ValueError: chr() arg not in range(0x110000)

In the above example, we have provided out of range integer arguments like -1000 and 1114113 to the chr() method. This results in a ValueError.

Example 3: chr() with Non-Integer Arguments

print(chr('Ronald'))
print(chr('Lupin'))

Output

TypeError: an integer is required (got type str)

In the above example, we have used the chr() method with Non-Integer Arguments. This results in a TypeError.
