How ASCII Conversion Works

ASCII conversion is the process of translating between human-readable text and its corresponding numeric ASCII codes. Here's a brief overview:

1. Each character is assigned a unique number from 0 to 127
2. Text to ASCII: Each character is replaced with its ASCII code
3. ASCII to Text: Each ASCII code is replaced with its corresponding character
4. Special characters and extended ASCII (128-255) may require additional handling

This converter allows you to easily switch between text and its ASCII representation, which can be useful for various programming and data processing tasks.
