ASCII stands for American Standard Code for Information Interchange. Computers can only understand numbers, so an ASCII code is the numerical representation of a character such as 'a' or '@' or an action of some sort. ASCII was actually designed for use with teletypes and so the descriptions are somewhat obscure.  The ASCII table is divided in 3 sections:
 * **Non printable, ** system codes between 0 and 31.
 * **Lower ASCII **, between 32 and 127. This part of the table (as shown below) originates from older, American systems, which worked on 7-bit character tables. Foreign letters, like and were not available then.
 * **Higher ASCII **, between 128 and 255. This part is programmable, in that you can exchange characters based on language you want to write in. Foreign letters are placed in this part and an example is shown below.
