Okay, so I was messing around with some encoding stuff the other day, and I got curious about what character corresponds to the number 32. It’s one of those things that you kinda know is something, but you can’t quite put your finger on it.
Digging In
First, I opened up a Python interpreter. I figured Python would be a quick and easy way to check this. I remembered the `chr()` function, which is supposed to do the trick. I typed in:
A space! Of course! It made perfect sense. I mean, 32 is the ASCII code for a space character. I should have remembered that from way back.
Double-Checking (Just in Case!)
Even though it seemed obvious, I wanted to make double sure. I opened my browser,and typed “ascii table” into the search bar.
I scrolled down and there it was, plain as day. 32, right there next to “space”.
Final Thoughts
So, yeah, that was pretty simple. It was fun, in a nerdy sort of way. It reminded me how satisfying it can be to answer those little nagging questions, even if they seem trivial. Plus, brushing up on basic stuff like ASCII is never a bad thing.
