Computers don’t read like we do, they turn letters into numbers. Imagine you're playing a game where every letter has a secret code, and when you put them together, the computer can figure out what word it is or even guess what you're trying to say! It's like turning words into puzzles that computers love to solve.
Examples
- A computer sees the word apple as a bunch of numbers.
- When you type 'hello' on your phone, it uses numbers to know that means greeting.
- Your smart speaker hears you say 'play music' and turns that into instructions.
