ASCII is a character code electric transmission. ASCII stands for American Standard Code for Information Interchange. American National Standards Institute (ANSI) developed this code. The first edition of the code was published in 1963.
Previously character was represented in different ways and it created problem to networking with other computer. Bob Bemer, an IBM engineer proposed ANSI to develop a single code for computer communication.
ASCII uses 7 bit for character code, that means 7 bit to represent each character. So, in total, 128 character can be represented by ASCII code.

The first 32 characters are control character. Decimal Range (0-31). These are unprintable.
The rest characters are printable characters. Decimal Range (32-127).
