Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart. Then you will win favor and a good name in the sight of God and man.
Proverbs 3:3-4

A little more binary practice today. You will be creating a message in code. Your project is to write a message to me using ASCII codes. The message needs to contain at least two sentences. It must also be written with only 1s and 0s. Remember that each letter is 8 bits. We will talk a little bit more about the different letters and their codes. You may want to start by listing all of the letters with their binary coding. Here are the letters and symbols you may want to use as well as the decimal number that represents them:

space 32
! 33
, 44

0 48
1 49
2 50
