Basically a system to represent characters. There's other systems like unicode also.

"ASCII is the numerical representation of a character for computers."
Uh no, it's just a character set. It's not the 'numerical representation' silly (unless you're talking about the "hexadecimal" of an ASCII character).

ASCII isn't a character set, it's the encoding scheme that allows those characters to be represented in numerical form. The characters being represented are called "ASCII characters" and their codes are "ASCII codes."

A character set are obviously the _SET_ of _CHARACTERS_ you can use and the encoding is how it's stored.

I don't know what you're trying to argue here, I'm not arguing about terminology.

If you're not talking about terminology what were you trying to say? ASCII isn't just a character set.

I'm arguing that ASCII is not literally the numerical representation as you said it was. DUH

ASCII is a alphanumerical mapping consisting of characters and numbers.
