ASCII

	Computers see a keyboard far differently than humans do. When we look at the
keyboard, we see all the letters we’re familiar with in the English language.
A computer, on the other hand, receives this data in a digital electronic code.

	The signal is first sent as a digital code, where ones and zeroes are the 
only symbols. Each key on the keyboard takes up approximately 8 ones or zeroes, 
which is known as a byte. The signal is still not specific enough for the computer
to understand what the user entered. This 8-digit code is then broken down into
two digits using a hexadecimal base.

	The hexadecimal number provides a quicker conversion for the ASCII program.Each 
hexadecimal number represents a specific character that we’re familiar with. Depending 
on which key is pressed, a specific code is sent and then transcribed by ASCII.
