Encoding Formats
Encoding formats are a set of rules and conventions used to represent data in a specific format. These formats define how data is stored and transmitted, ensuring that it is interpreted correctly by both humans and computers.
One common encoding format is binary, which is a system of representing data as a series of ones and zeros. Another format is ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange), which is a character-based format used for data exchange between computers.
Another format is hexadecimal, which is a number system that uses a set of letters and digits to represent data. This format is often used for storing and transmitting binary data, as it is compact and efficient.
Examples:
Binary: 10110101 01101011 01100010 01100100
ASCII: A few examples:
The letter 'A' is represented by the sequence of characters '\x41'.
The number 10 is represented by the sequence of characters '\x33' and '\x31'.
The character ' ' is represented by the sequence of characters '\x20'.
Hexadecimal: 0x41415241
