How to convert letters in string to numbers - C++

I'm kinda a newbie to c++...had the class for about a month or so... Anywho, we are doing this final project where we have to make an encryption/ decryption program using the hill cipher method. I've run into a slight problem where when I am trying to return the numbers from the function, it displays symbols instead of the actual numbers. The function itself, however, works correctly. Even though this is homework/classwork, the teacher is allowing us to use online sources and external help, since, as I previously said, we have only been programming for a month or so. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated!!
