Hi,

Can anyone help me out , how do I get ascii to binary and binary to ascii in java ?

Thanks.

What exactly do you mean? ASCII is binary.

Please TellTheDetails(⇐click) about what you're trying to do, and provide an example or two.

Hi,

I have a code which converts Ascii string to binary .. which is this !!

public static String AsciiToBinary(String asciiString){
		
		  byte[] bytes = asciiString.getBytes();
		  StringBuilder binary = new StringBuilder();
		  for (byte b : bytes)
		  {
		     int val = b;
		     for (int i = 0; i < 8; i++)
		     {
		        binary.append((val & 128) == 0 ? 0 : 1);
		        val <<= 1;
		     }
		    // binary.append(' ');
		  }
		  return binary.toString();
	}

so if I give my string as "foo".. it gives me binary string as 01100110 01101111 01101111

Now, I need to convert this binary number to ascii value. How do I do this ?

Thanks.

Okay, I see what you mean now.

so if I give my string as "foo".. it gives me binary string as 01100110 01101111 01101111

Now, I need to convert this binary number to ascii value. How do I do this ?

Well, your first step, as it always is with programming, is to figure out how you would do this "manually", without Java. What are the small, simple, precise steps?

That is not the concern of anybody here, and mentioning it will tend to drive people away, so please EaseUp.(⇐click)

I could, but I won't. This site is NotACodeMill.(⇐click) Giving you code doesn't help you learn, and it's unethical for somebody else to do work that is your responsibility.

Ok. Fine, could you tell me what are the steps to convert ?

So, if you see 01100110, you have no idea how to turn that into 'f'? That is, even if somebody just gives you "01100110", you have no idea what to do with it?
