coach94 Posted September 14, 2013 Posted September 14, 2013 I need some help with converting from roman numerals to ASCII code. I would just like a better understanding of how to do it My teacher gave us the following table and we have to get the rest of the code ( 0-6, 10-12) and i honestly have no clue where to go when it comes to the ASCII code I cant really find any good resources online to figure it out.
EdEarl Posted September 14, 2013 Posted September 14, 2013 Here are a couple of links to ASCII. Think of ASCII (any character code) as a cipher that converts character icons into binary numbers that the computer can store and use. There is nothing inside a computer except numbers, regardless of how the magic of software makes it look like computers contain videos, pictures, text, etc; everything is converted into numbers that a computer can process. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ascii http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended_ASCII http://www.asciitable.com/

I do use the 128,64,32,16,8,4,2,1 setup for this correct?
EdEarl Posted September 14, 2013 Posted September 14, 2013 In the table you provided the _ character means space, not "_", and space is 2016 (0x20 = 001000002). 1
