What is ASCII code?

ASCII is just normal letters written with numbers. ASCII is also used to translate Binary. E.g 01001000 01100101 01101100 01101100 01101111 is 72 101 108 108 111 in ASCII and that is 'h e l l o' in text.

It is the standard code for machine language based on which the computers interpret the data and give results.Initially when computers programs were being developed different people used to have different machine languages written.So when a program developed is developed on one system,it cannot be used on other without changing the machine language. So to bring a common language across the world ASCII which was based on older teleprint code was approved by the world and is being used as a standard now.

Its a code given for the alphabets and numbers for all computers universally. for eg a=65.a is the letter we use in human language.but in the computer a is read as 65.

A standard coding scheme that assigns numeric values to letters, numbers, punctuation marks, and control characters, to achieve compatibility among different computers and peripherals.

This is a format for representing characters in a computer system ; alphabetical(a,A,B,, etc.), numerical(0,8,9 etc) and special characters(@,#,$, etc.).It is used both in software and hardware. For an example when you press the "A" key on the keyboard, the keyboard sends a signal 65(decimal number) to the computer.The computer interprets this through hardware and operating systems and displays it on the screen. for a details check this link: http://www.asciitable.com/

ASCII is a code for representing alphabets, characters as numerical code. Computers and other communicating devices use ASCII code to represent characters which makes it easier to transfer data from one computer to another.
