Understanding character mappings.

Under the ASCII encoding standard, every readable character, symbol, or command maps to a specific number between 0 and 127.

For example, capital letter 'A' is index 65, lowercase 'a' is 97, and the space character is 32.

Step-by-step example.

Convert the string "Hi" into decimal:

  1. Find the decimal index for character 'H': 72.
  2. Find the decimal index for character 'i': 105.
  3. Concatenate with a space for readability: 72 105.
