American Standard Code for Information Interchange

When dealing with electronic resumes, you often read or hear the term ASCII. This is an acronym for American Standard Code for Information Interchange. It refers to the way informahon within a text file is saved. Because ASCII is a widely accepted standard (and understood by word processors, text editors, e-mail programs, applicant-tracking programs, etc.), using it increases your chances that the electronic resume you create will be compahble with the computer systems and software in use by potential employers.

The second requirement is a coding scheme that allows digital data to represent alphanumeric characters. Several such standards already exist, notably the American Standard Code for Information Interchange (ASCII) and the Extended Binary Coded Decimal Interchange Code. ASCII is almost universally used in microcomputer systems and is probably the better choice for development of new systems. 

ASCII Acronym for American Standard Code for Information Interchange. A standard coding scheme that assigns numeric values to letters, numbers, punctuation marks, and control characters, to achieve compatibility among different computers and peripherals.

All microcomputers have at least one output device, usually a monitor screen with a printer as a second output device giving hard copy. On desk-top computers, the screen is usually a cathode ray tube, while on portable computers liquid crystal or gas plasma screens are used. EEU"ly screen displays simply emulated the teletypes used at that time to communicate with mainframe computers. These glass teletypes displayed only characters. The computer simply sent a stream of bytes to the output device. The device was electronically connected to the microcomputer in such a way that from the microprocessor s point of view the output device resembled one or more memory locations. Whenever the microprocessor wrote into these memory locations, characters appeared on the screen. The convention used on all modern microcomputers when converting from bytes to characters is the American Standard Code for Information Interchange (ASCII). 

The term bit is a contraction of /binary dig/t. A convenient unit in computer applications is a grouping of 8 bits, like bbbb bbbb, known as a byte. Each byte can represent up to 256 binary units of information. Since computers can only understand numbers, ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) is used to represent letters and other nonnumeric characters. For example, ASCII codes 65 to 90 stand for the uppercase letters, A to Z, while 97 to 122 stand for lowercase, a to z. ASCII code 32 stands for a space. As an illustration ... 

One of the earliest and most common encodings was ASCII (the American Standard Code for Information Interchange), which gave a character value to the first 127 values in an 8-bit byte of memory (the final bit was left unused). Ascii is of course a standard that was developed in the United States, which could only represent the 26 characters of the standard English alphabet. Most of the worlds languages of course require difierent characters and so ascii alone will not suffice to encode these. A series of extensions were developed primarily with use with other European characters, often by making use of the undefined eighth bit in ascii.
