Writing in US-ASCII encoding in Java

Java provides extensive support for character encodings, allowing developers to work with different character sets and encoding schemes. One commonly used encoding is US-ASCII, which represents characters using 7 bits and can encode only the basic ASCII characters.

In Java, you can convert strings to US-ASCII encoding using the StandardCharsets class from the java.nio.charset package. Here’s an example of how you can write a string in US-ASCII encoding:

import java.nio.charset.StandardCharsets;

public class ASCIIExample {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        String originalString = "Hello, World!";
        
        // Convert to US-ASCII encoding
        byte[] asciiBytes = originalString.getBytes(StandardCharsets.US_ASCII);
        
        // Print the US-ASCII encoded bytes
        for (byte b : asciiBytes) {
            System.out.print(b + " ");
        }
    }
}

In the example above, we first define the original string "Hello, World!". We then convert it to US-ASCII encoding using the getBytes() method from the String class, specifying StandardCharsets.US_ASCII as the character encoding. The result is an array of bytes representing the US-ASCII encoded string.

Finally, we iterate over the byte array and print each byte to the console. In US-ASCII encoding, each byte corresponds to a specific ASCII character.

This example demonstrates how to write a string in US-ASCII encoding in Java. By using the appropriate character encoding, you can ensure that your text is correctly processed and displayed according to the desired encoding scheme.
