This week on Wednesday we have been learning about Binary, 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 a 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 below! Here is my progress.
What do you think? Have you ever tried encoding anything in binary or ASCII? Could you have a try for yourself? Can you work out how to write my initials in ASCII from the pattern above?
