Understanding ASCII to Binary Conversion

What is ASCII?

ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) is a character encoding standard that uses 7 bits to represent 128 different characters, including letters, numbers, punctuation marks, and control characters. Extended ASCII uses 8 bits to represent 256 characters.

ASCII to Binary Conversion Process

The conversion from ASCII to binary involves taking each ASCII character, finding its decimal ASCII value, and then converting that decimal value to its 8-bit binary representation.

Conversion Steps:

  1. Take each ASCII character in the text
  2. Find the decimal ASCII value for each character
  3. Convert each decimal value to its 8-bit binary representation
  4. Combine all binary bytes to form the final binary string
