 The ASCII table

The ASCII table

Character Encoding → way to represent text in:

Computers
Telecommunication Equipment
Devices in general
ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange)
is a Character Encoding
It’s also the base of most of the current Character Encodings (UTF-8,
Windows-1252, ISO-8859-*, . . . )
Number code for representing characters each character is
assigned a number
The original ASCII table was encoded with a 7-bit code
Consists of a 127 character-map codes from 0 to 127 (27 − 1 = 127)

The ASCII table

We can separate the ASCII table in two main groups of characters:

Control Characters first 32 codes (0 31)
Printable Characters the remaining codes (≥ 32)
Control Characters → used to control the device behavior and
provide additional information:
[10] \n → line feed
[09] \t → horizontal tab
...
Printable characters include:
Numeric Digits
Alphabetic Characters
Punctuation

 The ASCII table

The ASCII table

The ascii code is internally used by C to represent a character

So when you create a new character the value stored in memory
is really it’s code
Actually, this two blocks of code have the same exact result:

%c in the printf above → formats the output as a character

If we change it to %d (integer) we get the actual ascii code:
char c = 'A ';
printf ( " The ascii code of % c is % d \ n " , c , c ) ;

Terminal :
The ascii code of A is 65

(Try changing the value from ’A’ to another character and see what happens. . . )

Strings (introduction)
String - Finite sequence of characters - letters, numbers, symbols
and punctuation marks
In C you define a string literal with a sequence of characters
between double-quotes (") - "A string literal!"
This is different from the single character (char) literal, between
single-quotes - 'X'
The above string literal is composed of the individual characters:
'A',' ','s','t','r','i','n','g',' '
'l','i','t','e','r','a','l','!','\0'
An ’\0’ (ascii code 0) marks the end of the string
Automatically placed when you define it between double-quotes. . .
We have been using string literals in the text format argument of the
printf function:

Strings (introduction) - Quiz (characters and strings)

Try to figure out if the code snippets below are valid in C:

char question_mark = 63;
63 represents the ascii char ’?’
char ackbar = "It's a trap";
char ackbar declares a single char, not suitable for a string
char episode_iv = ’A new hope’;
single-quotes (’) are not suitable for a string initialization
char two_chars = ’AB’;

char two_chars = 10;

printf("%c\n", "Bla!");

%c → would print random char in terminal, correct → %s
