ASCII - American Standard Code for Information Interchange
Machines use numbers mainly in form of ones and zeros (the binary system) to execute operations. That's why we need a numeric representation of each possible character that we use. The ASCII table displays those values.
Only the decimal values will be displayed in this post. More here.
Numbers 0 to 127 represent the standard ASCII code that has 7 bits (7 positions in the binary system).
0 to 31 are unprintable control codes and are used to control peripherals such as printers:
