The computer can use bytes
to represent more than just
numbers. There are less than 256
letters, numbers and punctuat-
ion markes in the English
langauge. A code number has been
assigned to each one.

This code system is called
ASCII. (American Standard Code
for Information Interchange)

With the ASCII numbers,
a byte can therefore
represent any standard
character. Here are some
examples:
~
text/350/97
#122 = 'z'
~
text/358/107
#74 = 'J'
~
text/358/117
#36 = '$'
~
text/358/127
#44 = ','
~
text/475/97
#50 = '2'
~
text/475/107
#97 = 'a'
~
text/475/117
#63 = '?'
