ASCII Values

The ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) value is a numerical representation of characters in computers. ASCII assigns a unique 7-bit binary number (0 to 127) to each character, allowing computers to understand and process text.

In ASCII:

The values 0–31 are control characters (e.g., newline, backspace).
The values 32–126 represent printable characters, including numbers, uppercase and lowercase letters, and symbols.
The value 127 is a control character used for the delete function.

Here is the ASCII table with values from 0 to 127:
