Interview Question

Answer Posted / geevidhyadhar

It is a code the acronym of which stands for "American
Standard Code for Information Interchange".

All the keys which you see on your keyboard and the other
formatting functions such as bold, italic, tab key, enter
key, tab shift key, print control keys etc are repesented as
a number behind the scenes.

for example: "A" is represented as 65 and "B" as 66.
Separate number definitions are available for A and a (
capital letter or small letter). This method of representing
all keyboard related and other activities for characters
forms a standardized form of communicating across the world.

Have you ever tried opening a word document using a plain
editor from DOS? You would see lot of junk figures. They are
actually not junk characters; only that the DOS program does
not sense them.

ASCII is the standard format for information exchange.
