ASCII to Text is the process of converting ASCII codes (decimal or binary) into human-readable characters. Each ASCII code corresponds to a specific character, symbol, or control code in the ASCII table.
Steps to Convert ASCII to Text:
Get the ASCII value: Each character in the text has a unique ASCII code. If you are given the ASCII code in decimal or binary form, you can look up the corresponding character in the ASCII table.
Convert each ASCII code to its corresponding character:
If you have the decimal ASCII value, convert it directly to the corresponding character.
If you have the binary representation of an ASCII value, convert it to decimal first, then find the corresponding character.
Example 1: Converting Decimal ASCII to Text
Let's convert the decimal ASCII values 72, 101, 108, 108, and 111 into text.
72 → 'H'
101 → 'e'
108 → 'l'
108 → 'l'
111 → 'o'
So, the ASCII values 72 101 108 108 111 correspond to the text "Hello".
Example 2: Converting Binary ASCII to Text
Let's convert the binary ASCII codes 01001000, 01100101, 01101100, 01101100, 01101111 into text.
01001000 → Decimal is 72 → 'H'
01100101 → Decimal is 101 → 'e'
01101100 → Decimal is 108 → 'l'
01101100 → Decimal is 108 → 'l'
01101111 → Decimal is 111 → 'o'
So, the binary ASCII codes 01001000 01100101 01101100 01101100 01101111 correspond to the text "Hello".
Quick Steps:
For decimal ASCII values, simply look up the character.
For binary ASCII values, first convert each binary group to decimal, then look up the character.
