Overview
ASCII stands for American Standard Code for Information Interchange. Originally defined as a 7-Bit code, it allows the representation of 128 different characters, including letters, numbers, punctuation, and control characters. Today, an 8-bit code is often used, which builds on ASCII and enables additional characters by utilizing the eighth bit. In computer programs, the ASCII code is used to represent and store these characters.
