Help with binary????

Question

I just went onto a site that tells you about binary (http://www.docdroppers.org/wiki/index.php?title=Learning_Binary)

and it said that if you hold ALT and type in a number eg: 72, it will come up with the letter for it. I tried notepad, word pad and Microsoft word but it didn't do anything. It should have come up with H.

Answer 1

Two critical rules for those ALT characters:

1. Make sure your keyboard is in NumLock mode.

2. Hold down the ALT key and enter the number on the numeric keypad.  (Note that many laptops have a blue FN key that changes a set of keys, also with blue numbers on them, into a numeric keypad.)

Hope that helps.

Answer 2

1. open the command prompt (Start-> Run, Type "cmd")

2. Press ALT and type your numbers

:)

Answer 3

Did you type your 72 using the numeric keypad, with it enabled using the Num Lock key?

Answer 4

Yah but thats not binary but the ascii code like if you hold alt then write 32 and release alt it should write a space thats the ascii code for space A is 65 return is...13 I think? etc
