In Java, when you subtract two characters, it actually subtracts their ASCII values. So, the expression 'B' - 'A' will indeed result in 1 because the ASCII value of 'B' is 66 and the ASCII value of 'A' is 65.

There is no bad or unknown behavior when subtracting characters in this way. It is a well-defined behavior in Java and will always give you the expected result.

this is not undefined behavior, its clearly defined what should happen

#

and yes, it will convert the chars to int

#

which is their ascii index

#

and then do the operation on that

#

the result is an int

this is indeed equal to 1, chars are ints
