Why should I need to convert ASCII to binary?

Converting ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) to binary is necessary in certain contexts for various reasons:

  • Data Representation: Binary is the fundamental language of computers. Converting ASCII to binary allows computers to process and store textual data as a sequence of binary digits (ones and zeroes).
  • Data Transmission: When transmitting data over a network, binary is often used to represent characters, numbers, and other information.
  • Encryption and Encoding: In cryptographic operations and data encoding techniques, converting text to binary is a common step. Binary representations often enable various encryption algorithms and encoding methods to secure and transmit data more effectively.

How do I convert ASCII to binary manually?

You can manually convert ASCII to binary by using a conversion table or formula. For each character, you can find its decimal value. Once you have the decimal value, you can convert it binary.

How can I convert ASCII to binary with Javascript?
