Understanding Binary and Hexadecimal
Binary to ASCII
Computers communicate in binary (0s and 1s). ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) assigns a numerical value to characters (letters, numbers, symbols). A typical ASCII character is stored in a byte (8 bits). For example, the letter 'A' is 65 in decimal, which is 01000001 in binary.
Hexadecimal to Text
Hexadecimal (Base-16) is a more human-readable representation of binary data. It uses digits 0-9 and letters A-F. The same letter 'A' (decimal 65) represents as 41 in Hex.
