Hey, it's me again!

So right now, I'm about to move onto a higher level College Course for Computer Science. Now, I don't believe I'll be going over binary again in the next course, so I thought of a method to refresh my brain; teaching myself.

I'd like people with knowledge on 'bit's' & 'byte's' to correct me if I'm wrong. And yes, if you don't know anything about binary; bit's and byte's are the standing stones of binary.

So here's a little write up I made:

Well, I remember this topic as a big headache during my school's years :D

In short, the characters stored in the computer are encoded according to a code that corresponds to each letter in a series of 0 and 1 (the only 2 values that the computer can recognize), and the binary code associates a certain number to a certain letter.
The ASCII code (american standard code for information interchange) is the most known.
At the end, to translate a file in binary format you should have the code table and the file in binary number format, take a group of numbers: 8, 16, 32 (depending on the code ASCII standard or extended) and see which character you match.

The computer, of course can do it faster :D

So the result of my previous post was: "interesting".
