And it is not easy for humans to remember the exact representation of a character or letter in ASCII.įor instance, a single word “hello” is translated in ASCII as “104 101 108 108 111”, which isn’t easy for anyone to remember. The data stored as ASCII values can be easily interpreted by computers and other smart devices. In computer applications and software programs, all the text, values, characters, program codes, and instructions are stored as ASCII values. There are many reasons to convert text into ASCII format, as ASCII codes are in use since the 1960s and 70s and are developing over time.
