Hey Bloggers, today we are learning about Binary and ASCII.
Binary is a number system that uses 1’s and 0’s to represent all of our normal set of numbers. You can use the place values as multiples of 2 to work out how to do it for yourself! Try watching this video to give it a go yourself!
ASCII is set of encoded symbols that a computer uses to turn Binary into letters and other symbols from the English language (like what is on our keyboard). I turned my initials into binary numbers, and then turned those binary numbers into an ASCII code! Using colours to represent the 1’s and 0’s, my initials in ASCII can be represented by the pattern you see in my image above!
Now you've known Binary and ASCII, you can make your very own one, also using beads or on paper. I also recommend to show your friends and family how to make their own initials with the things that you've learnt! If interested more, there are lots of fun stuff like coding you could do like Kaggle, Silent Teacher and Little Dot Adventure, to get into solving codings.
Can you find more things about Binary or ASCII? Do you think the image shown above is correct or not? Did you try it yourself? If did, you should post about it. :)
