Binary

Binary numbering system uses only two symbols 0 and 1. Each digits of a binary number is referred to as bits. Binary system is also known as base -2 system. Each digit is represented by the increasing power of 2 from the LSB (Least Significant Bit). Binary system is the heart of digital electronics and is used for information flow. In digital electronics, 0 and 1 are used to denote logic states, high and low. Arithmetic operations are also possible in binary system.

ASCII code

ASCII stands for American Standard Code for Information Interchange was developed by the X3 committee of American National Standards Institute or ANSI. It is widely used in modern day computers and telecom devices. This code encodes 128 characters, viz. digits – 0 to 9, alphabets a to z in lowercase, alphabets A to Z in uppercase, punctuation symbols.

Why encode text to binary

Electronic devices including computers and smartphones use binary codes for data transmission as well as storage. Hence it is required to convert the human readable text to binary that is readable by electronic devices and vice versa.
