I really need some help with my homework. I have no idea how to convert ASCII, and I need the following binary ASCII codes de-coded:

01001000
01000101
01001100
01010000

if anyone could help me that would be much appreciated.

Jesus Christ you'd have to be a retard for this to be anymore than mindless busy work.

Or...google ascii binary conversions,
then go to this site
http://nickciske.com/tools/binary.php
then paste in
01001000
01000101
01001100
01010000

And when you get into a test and don't have internet access and get asked to do this using a lookup table what will you do?

I would tell him to add another "r" to terrorist.

She probably would get it wrong for it not being in capitals though.

Ok, thought I would HELP out.

First need to convert the binary (base 2) to decimal (base 10).

In this case ^ would mean "to the power of".

From right to left: 2^0, 2^1, 2^2 etc.

Which works out as 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 etc.

The first character will be 2^6 + 2^3 = 64 + 8 = 72

Considering the ASCII code for the capital letter A is 65, I am sure you could work out the rest.
