Topic: ASCII



  
 ASCII - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
ASCII is, strictly, a seven-bit code, meaning that it uses the bit patterns representable with seven binary digits (a range of 0 to 127 decimal) to represent character information.
At the time ASCII was introduced, many computers dealt with eight-bit groups (bytes or, more specifically, octets) as the smallest unit of information; the eighth bit was commonly used as a parity bit for error checking on communication lines or other device-specific functions.
Like other character representation computer codes, ASCII specifies a correspondence between digital bit patterns and the symbols/glyphs of a written language, thus allowing digital devices to communicate with each other and to process, store, and communicate character-oriented information.

 ASCII art - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
ASCII art is also used within the source code of computer programs for representation of company or product logos, and flow control or other diagrams.
ASCII art is also very commonly used amongst software piracy groups to display group logos inside text (*.nfo) files containing the instructions for installing and cracking the software (though these commonly use PC text mode characters as well as just ASCII).
In some cases, the entire source code of a program is a piece of ASCII art - for instance, an entry to one of the earlier International Obfuscated C Code Contest is a program that adds numbers, but visually looks like a binary adder drawn in logic ports.

 LEARN THE NET: Glossary: ASCII
ASCII characters allow us to communicate with computers, which use their own language called binary made up of 0s and 1s.
ASCII is an acronym for American Standard Code for Information Interchange, a 7-bit code that represents the most basic letters of the Roman alphabet, numbers, and other characters used in computing.
When we type ASCII characters from the keyboard (which looks like words to us), the computer interprets them as binary so they can be read, manipulated, stored and retrieved.

 ASCII Code
Despite some major shortcomings, ASCII data is the standard for data interchange across computer systems and programs.
If you compare the ASCII codes for the upper and lower case characters to binary, you will notice that the upper case symbols differ from their lower case equivalents in exactly one bit position.
The decimal representations of these ASCII codes are not very enlightening.

 ASCII Tools
ASCII is a code for representing characters as numbers so that they can be stored in a computers memory.
ASCII Tools is made with REALbasic, a state of the art Macintosh IDE (Integrated Development Environment) which allows simultaneous Macintosh and Windows development using the same source code.
As developers, we often need to find out the ASCII value of a character, or vice versa, and we were tired of searching for one of the many ASCII character tables that are in books or on print outs.

 ASCII - What is It and Why Should I Care? Tela Communications
Email transmissions are limited to ASCII characters and because of that, graphics files and documents with non-ASCII characters created in word processers, spreadsheet or database programs must be "ASCII-fied" and sent as email file attachments.
For example, if program A can't convert its data to the format of program B, but both programs can input and output ASCII files, the conversion may be possible.
These codes, however, may not be the same in all computers and files containing these characters may not display or convert properly by another ASCII program.

 World Power Systems:Texts:Annotated history of charactercodes
ASCII, born at the dawn of the modern computer age (1958--1965), is perfectly representative of the period; clean, spare, optimistic and ultimately ignorant of anything but its immediate past; its view of the future, our present, rosy because it was so naive.
Keep in mind that the free-for-all of symbol and character manipulation by computer didn't happen on a large scale until the mid-1970's; printing and "input/ouput" was something that was done "off line", computer time considered too precious for mere printing of tables and such.
The codes covered here are the beginning of a crude alphabet for our new machines' pidgin, a baby language, for better and worse, mindlessly mumbled sub-atomic particles of thoughts.

They are generated by simultaneously pressing the CTRL key and the alphabet keys, e.g, CTRL-A. These characters have special meanings that are nearly universal in all computers and associated equipment.
