When a computer processes a phrase such as "hello world," it typically treats it as ASCII text. ASCII stands for American Standard Code for Information Interchange and is a character encoding standard that assigns unique numerical values to each character. In the ASCII encoding scheme, each character is represented by a seven-digit binary number.
