String, ASCII hexadecimal binary conversion
String, ASCII, Hexadecimal, and Binary Conversion
What is it?
A String Converter transforms text characters into ASCII (numeric representation), hexadecimal (base-16), and binary (base-2) formats.
Why use this conversion?
- Computing & Data Encoding: Used in programming, networking, and file storage.
- Security & Cryptography: Important for encryption and hashing.
- Low-Level Processing: Helps in understanding character representation in memory.
How does it work?
- String to ASCII: Converts each character to its ASCII decimal code (e.g., A → 65).
- ASCII to Hexadecimal: Converts ASCII decimal to hex (65 → 41).
- Hexadecimal to Binary: Converts each hex digit to 4-bit binary (41 → 01000001).
- Binary to String: Reverses the process, converting binary back to characters.
When to use it?
- Text encoding (UTF-8, ASCII).
- Debugging & reverse engineering.
- Handling binary data in programming.
