Having taken the time and made the effort to truly
understand the problem and how it may be solved,
I find that the "best available technique" for obtaining
the numeric value of a character is the use of the
intrinsic function, ORD.

As for the balance of your program, I found no
technique that is necessarily better than what you have
done.
