Need to make a function that takes in a string and returns the ascii values for each letter in the string in a form of (103, 104, 105, etc.)

If you just can't get the ASCII values: what you want is the ord function https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#ord
This actually gives you the unicode code Point - but that's equivalent in the ASCII range (which is up to 0xFF iirc)

I tried using the ord function but since it can only take in one character at a time it stumped me since the test code runs it with a string longer that one character – clurb Apr 26 '19 at 06:42

Ah well you need to iterate over your string so that you get each character. See for example here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/538346/iterating-each-character-in-a-string-using-python – SV-97 Apr 26 '19 at 06:45

Use the ord function for that
In [12]: ord('g')
Out[12]: 103
In [13]: ord('h')
Out[13]: 104
In [14]: ord('i')
Out[14]: 105
As an extra tidbit, use the chr function to convert the ascii value to letter
In [15]: chr(103)
Out[15]: 'g'
In [16]: chr(104)
Out[16]: 'h'
In [17]: chr(105)
Out[17]: 'i'
And as you can guess.
In [18]: chr(ord('g')) == 'g'
Out[18]: True
To get ascii values for all characters of a string, just run a for loop over all characters
s = 'helloworld'
for c in s:
print(ord(c))
104
101
108
108
111
119
111
114
108
100

It can be done using the ord() function in python.
One line solution:
string = "ThisIsString!"
[ord(c)] for c in string]
Using for loop
asciis = []
for c in string:
asciis.append(ord(c))
print(asciis)
[84, 104, 105, 115, 73, 115, 83, 116, 114, 105, 110, 103, 33]
