Convert ASCII to a string

[Toonzaka22]

Could anyone give me insight on how this is even done?

Huh? ASCII is a type of string encoding, just like EBCDIC & Unicode.
If you have an array of ASCII characters, it's a string (as long as it's terminated with a '\0').

All variables, including char, in a computer are stored as binary values, ie, numbers. That is the purpose of the ASCII standard -- to provide a character set corresponding to numerical values.

The bonus here is that as cpjust points out, all strings are already ASCII values:

char string[]="hello world";
int i, len = strlen(string);
for (i=0; i<len; i++) printf("%d ",string[i]);

Check the output against your ascii table. They're the same.
