# From Decimal Digits to ASCII Encoding ## Understanding Decimal Digits ### What Are Decimal Digits? Decimal digits are the numerical symbols **0 through 9**, which form the basis of the decimal (base-10) numbering system. Each digit represents a value based on its position, allowing us to express numbers efficiently. ### Importance in Computing In computing, decimal digits are often converted into binary for processing. However, when representing numbers in text form, they are mapped to specific character codes, such as ASCII. ## ASCII Encoding Explained ### What Is ASCII? ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) is a character encoding standard that assigns a unique numerical value to each letter, digit, and symbol. For example: | Character | ASCII Code (Decimal) | |-----------|----------------------| | '0' | 48 | | '1' | 49 | | ... | ... | | '9' | 57 | ### How Decimal Digits Map to ASCII Each decimal digit (‘0’-‘9’) corresponds to ASCII codes **48 to 57**. This ensures consistent representation across different systems. ## Practical Applications ### Data Storage & Transmission ASCII encoding ensures that numbers stored as text remain readable and universally interpretable. For example, "123" is stored as ASCII codes **49, 50, 51**. ### Programming & User Input Handling Programs often convert ASCII digits back to numerical values for calculations. For instance, subtracting **48** from the ASCII value of ‘5’ (53) yields the integer **5**.
Understanding these conversions is essential for developers working with text processing, data parsing, and communication protocols.
