On Wednesday we learnt 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, I beaded it together and then had my keychain. I would insert a photo but I can't because my dad took it, to put on his desk.
Have you ever tried encoding anything in binary or ASCII?
