ASCII encodes characters into binary form from "summary" of Code by Charles Petzold
ASCII, which stands for American Standard Code for Information Interchange, is a character encoding standard that represents text in computers. The basic idea behind ASCII is quite simple: it encodes characters into binary form. In other words, it assigns a unique binary code to each character, allowing computers to store and manipulate text data.
To understand how ASCII works, we need to delve into the realm of binary numbers. In the binary number system, each digit can have one of two values: 0 or 1. By combining these digits, we can represent numbers, characters, and all sorts of data. ASCII takes advantage of this binary representation to encode characters.
Each character in ASCII is represented by a unique 7-bit binary code. This means that there are 128 possible characters that can be encoded in...
