ASCII Code - Jedaaiii

ASCII code is a 7-bit character encoding standard used to represent text and control characters in computers and other digital devices. It was developed in 1963 by ANSI to provide a common standard for encoding characters like letters, numbers, and symbols. ASCII assigns a unique binary value between 0-127 to each character, allowing computers to internally store and process text using binary. This encoding enables the transfer of data between different devices and is still widely used today despite newer 8-bit and Unicode standards.

ASCII Code

Reporter:
Caraig, Jan Edward C.
Objective:
After reading/listening to this report, the
reader/listener should be able to:
• Know the history of ASCII code.
• Realize why ASCII code is very important.
• Learn how ASCII code works.
• Understand and use ASCII code.
What is ASCII??
History of ASCII Code
• Early computer programmers realized that
they need a commonly agreed standard code
in which numbers stood for alphabets, special
characters and digits.
• In 1963, the American National Standard
Institute (ANSI) presented an industry
standard code ASCII (American Standard Code
for Information Interchange) character set.
ASCII
• ASCII is a seven-bit code (a range of 0 to 127
decimal) which assigns a binary value to letters,
numbers and other characters. Nowadays, most
computer work with 8-bit code, which can
represent 256 different values.
• The characters from 0 to 31 are control
characters, 32 to 64 are special characters, 65 to
96 are uppercase letters and few symbols, 97 to
127 are lowercase letters and other symbols, and
128 to 255 are other symbols.
ASCII
• ASCII code represent text and control
characters in computers, communication
equipments, and other devices that work with
text. It makes possible to transfer data from
one device or computer to another.
ASCII Code Table
Conversion:
• Computers can internally manage only binary
data like zeros (0s) and ones (1s).
• Computers use an ASCII code to convert
binary data into letters or characters so it can
visually appear in the monitor.
