'''ASCII''' is a method of representing typographical characters in digital form. The acronym stands for American Standard Code for Information Interchange.
Each character is assigned a number from 0 to 128 - as well the 26 letters of the [[English alphabet]] in upper and lower case, all common punctuation symbols are assigned codes, as well as [[control characters]], such as Delete and Newline.
Because there are 128 separate codes, an ASCII character can be represented by a [[signed]] [[byte]] type.
