Ok I am having on of those days and this could be the fastest ever answer

Code:
   
   while(1)
   {
      answer=0;
      if(kbhit())    //if keyboard is hit
      {
         c = getc() & 0x5F;
         if(c == 'D')   
         {
            printf("\n\rPress 1-6\n\r");
            answer=getc();
            answer=answer+200;
            printf("%u",answer);
         }
      }
     } 
 


In this short code when I press D and then 1 why does't the answer come out as 201.

What I would like to do is some calculations based on the number typed in
any help would be grand

nice

Answer will be the ASCII value of 1 , which is 49 decimal. Subtract 48 from answer to get the number you want.

The problem is that you are adding "apples" + "oranges", then you make a decimal convertion and surelly your result is ´249´

answer=getc();

Here, after you pressed ´1´, answer = 0x31. // ´1´= 0x31 (see ASCII table)

answer=(answer & 0x0F)+200; // ignore the high nibble of ´answer´ to get the ´1´.

printf("%u",answer); // now you will get the expected ´201´
