Question
Chapter 1, Problem 3E
Program Plan Intro
ASCII character Set:
The ASCII is stands for “American Standard Code for Information Interchange”.
- It uses 128 unique characters which represent the English letters, punctuation marks and other characters.
- It uses seven bits to represent each character in the set. Check bit is used as the eighth bit to ensure proper data transmission.
- Extended ASCII character version includes the eighth bit and allows 256 unique characters, which includes some additional symbols and some accented letters.
- ASCII has a finite number of characters; so it lists them all and assigns binary string value to each one of them.
- ASCII character set as well as Unicode character set treats uppercase and lowercase letters distinctly.
- For example, the ASCII code for A is 65. When “A” is typed on keyboard, its equivalent ASCII value “65" will be automatically stored in the memory.

Make sure that you also convert any spaces and punctuation in your chosen phrase! In your post, tell me what phrase you chose and then write out the hexadecimal representation of that phrase with spaces between each hex number. For example, lets say the phrase I choose is "Hello World". To convert that to hexadecimal, I would bring up the ASCII table and look up each character in my phrase. First I would look up "H" and see that it has the code 48. Then I would look up "e", which has the code 65. Then "l", which becomes 6C. I would continue this way until I have converted the whole phrase to hexadecimal (including the space between the words, which has code 20). The complete encoded phrase ends up…arrow_forward
