Day 7: Labs

LAB 1:

To redesign the punch card system, we assigned letters A-Z values from 1-26. When added, the numbers punched in each column equal one of those values and represent a letter. To show symbols, a 0 is punched and then a number.
0=space
01=.
02=,
03=?
04=!
05=:
06=;

Here we've coded "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Nulla tellus cras amet."LAB 2:
To decipher the binary code, we used this binary translator:

"Be sure to drink your Ovaltine."

The translator must have seperated the chunk of numbers into bytes (groups of 8 bits), because each byte stands for a specific character. It strung the letters together and gave us our answer.
