ASCII, which is an acronym for American Standard Code for Information Interchange, is a widely used, internationally recognized coding system to represent characters in a standard way. ASCII is commonly used for storage within computer systems, and for exchange between them. English characters are represented as numbers, with each letter assigned a number from 0 to 127.For example, the ASCII code for uppercase M is 77. Most computers use ASCII codes to represent text, which makes it possible to transfer data from one computer to another. Standard ASCII character set uses just 7 bits for each character.
