How to Convert Text to String

Convert text to binary ASCII code:

1. Get character
2. Get decimal code of character from ASCII table
3. Convert decimal to binary byte
4. Continue with next character

Example

Convert "Plant trees" text to binary ASCII code:

Solution:

Use ASCII table to get ASCII code from character.

For all the text characters you should get the binary bytes:

"01010000 01101100 01100001 01101110 01110100 00100000 01110100 01110010 01100101 01100101 01110011"

How to convert 'A' character to binary?

Use ASCII table: 'A' = 65₁₀ = 64+1 = 2⁶+2⁰ = 01000001₂

How to convert '0' character to binary?

Use ASCII table: '0' = 48₁₀ = 32+16 = 2⁵+2⁴ = 00110000₂

Binary definition

In mathematics and digital electronics, a binary number is a number expressed in the base-2 numeral system or binary numeral system, which uses only two symbols: typically "0" (zero) and "1" (one).

The base-2 numeral system is a positional notation with a radix of 2. Each digit is referred to as a bit, or binary digit. Because of its straightforward implementation in digital electronic circuitry using logic gates, the binary system is used by almost all modern computers and computer-based devices, as a preferred system of use, over various other human techniques of communication, because of the simplicity of the language.

String definition

A string literal or anonymous string[1] is a type of literal in programming for the representation of a string value within the source code of a computer program. Most often in modern languages this is a quoted sequence of characters (formally "bracketed delimiters"), as in x = "foo", where "foo" is a string literal with value foo – the quotes are not part of the value, and one must use a method such as escape sequences to avoid the problem of delimiter collision and allow the delimiters themselves to be embedded in a string. However, there are numerous alternate notations for specifying string literals, particularly more complicated cases, and the exact notation depends on the individual programming language in question. Nevertheless, there are some general guidelines that most modern programming languages follow.
