ascii:tldr:2642c
This command uses the ascii
function to convert the value of the variable ${a}
into its ASCII representation.
The ascii
function is commonly used in programming to convert characters into their corresponding ASCII values. ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) is a character encoding standard that assigns unique numerical values to represent characters and symbols.
In this specific command, the value of the variable ${a}
is being passed as an argument to the ascii
function. The ${a}
could represent a character, a string, or a variable holding a character or string. The ascii
function then converts the character(s) into their respective ASCII values.
For example, if the value of ${a}
is "A", the command ascii ${a}
would convert the character "A" into its ASCII value of 65.
