ASCII -- The American Standard Code for Information Interchange
Introduction
The ASCII code was the first 8-bit standard code that let characters - letters,numbers, punctuation, and other symbols - be represented by the same 8-bits on many different kinds of computers.
It is limitted to the alphabet popular at the time in the USA but was adopted internationally( see ISO_Latin_1).
Prior to ASCII each computer manufacturer tended to use their own code.
IBM for example had EBCDIC.
These might be ad hoc, based on pattern of holes punched on cards, based on the pattern of holes punched in paper tape, or the sequence of bits transmitted by teletypes on the Telex (telegram) network.
ASCII is the code used on the Internet.
In the 1990's a 16-bit code was developed that will handle alphabets of many nations.
It contains the ASCII sequence.
The new code is called UNICODE.
The ASCII code includes control characters that do not print a character.
These have a short standard name, a standard function plus a large number of non-standard applications.
The original code was developed in the days of mechanical terminals such as Teletypes.
The meaning of the control codes are defined in terms of typewriter like actions - Tab, ring bell, back-space, return, and line feed.
A competent software engineer will know about the control codes; what they were designed to mean, and how they are used or mis-used in real systems.
In many high level languages the ASCII characters are representable as a function, (eg Pascal - chr(i), C - (char)i, or Ada - CHAR'VAL(i) ) where "i" is an integer.
Ada specifies a special standard package that defines ASCII with standard names for constants representing the coded character.
In C they can be indicated by a backslash character (\) followed by either a special letter, or as a hexadecimal or octal number.
The following dictionary defines the ASCII name, its position in the ASCII code, its original meaning, and Ada 83 symbol.
