The ASCII stands for the “American Standard Code for Information Interchange“.
The main purpose of this is to create inter connect ability between various devices. It was an encoding method. It was a standard 7 bit code.
ASCII comes from the word “Any-Key”. That means all the letters, numbers and the other symbols computer will identify with this ASCII code.

ASCII codes use 32 codes, 0-31 decimal characters. It has this control devices use for printers that use of ASCII. Most ASCII characters and codes can't be found in standard computer keyboards, so a special functions and commands is use to get print this characters.

Hi,
ASCII stands for American Standard Code for Information Interchange. It is a method that is used to represent text in computers by the use of digital codes or bits. Since computers cannot understand the human representation of text for instance in English words or any other language, there had to be a way that the text will be represented, and this was by the use digital codes which ASCII offers.
When you enter text into your computer, the text is first converted by the computer into ASCII codes, but the process is so fast that is done within nanoseconds and therefore you can even know that it is happening.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Lee Hung.
