chr() in Python

The chr() method returns a string representing a character whose Unicode code point is an integer.
Syntax:

chr(num)
num : integer value

• The chr() method takes only one integer as argument.
• The range may vary from 0 to 1,1141,111(0x10FFFF in base 16).
• The chr() method returns a character whose unicode point is num, an integer.
• If an integer is passed that is outside the range then the method returns a ValueError.

Example: Suppose we want to print ‘G e e k s f o r G e e k s’.

Output:

G e e k s   f o r   G e e k s

Another example :

Output:

Character of ASCII value 17 is  
Character of ASCII value 38 is  &
Character of ASCII value 79 is  O

What happens if we give something out of range?

Output:

No Output

We wont get any output and the compiler will throw an error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/484c76fb455a624cc137946a244a9aa5.py", line 1, in 
    print(chr(400))
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character 
'\u0190' in position 0: ordinal not in range(128)
