ASCII Encoding
Hello future Hackers,
We have created the next lesson.
This time we talk about ascii encoding.
Again, the challenge is more informative and gives no points.
Happy Challenging!

# CGX#4: Ascii Encoding
Computers can only work with numbers.
We need a mapping, for converting numbers to written characters, to display text to humans.
The [ASCII](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASCII)
[encoding](../README.md)
was one of the first encoding to solve this problem.
## ASCII
- 1 byte per character.
- Original 7 bit + 1 bit [checksum]()
- [ASCII Table](https://www.asciitable.com/)
## Other encodings
- C64 Screencode (A=1, B=2, ...)
- 8bit ASCII / extended ASCII
- Win ISO
- Unicode with UTF 8/16/32
## PHP Implementation
- number to letter (chr())
- letter to number (ord())
- string encodings in PHP
