BinaryCharacters

Namespace: MrSquirrely.Fun.Binary Class: BinaryChars

A C# utility library that maps standard printable ASCII characters to their 8-bit binary literal representations. This project is designed for educational purposes to visualize how text data is stored in memory and to facilitate "absurd" coding challenges where strings are constructed bit-by-bit.

Features

The BinaryChars class provides public const char definitions for the standard ASCII set:

Uppercase Letters: UpperA through UpperZ
Lowercase Letters: LowerA through LowerZ
Digits: Digit0 through Digit9
Symbols & Punctuation: Extensive coverage including SymSpace, SymExclamation, SymAt, brackets, braces, and math symbols.

Installation

Copy the BinaryCharacters.cs file into your .NET project.
Ensure the namespace MrSquirrely.Fun.Binary is accessible to your code.

Usage

Since the characters are defined as char constants derived from binary literals (e.g., 0b_0100_0001), you can use them exactly like normal characters. They are most effective when used with a StringBuilder to construct words manually.

Basic Example

using MrSquirrely.Fun.Binary;
using System.Text;

public void CreateBinaryString()
{
    // Use StringBuilder for efficient appending
    StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder();

    // Constructing "Hi!"
    // H: 0100 1000
    builder.Append(BinaryChars.UpperH);
    
    // i: 0110 1001
    builder.Append(BinaryChars.LowerI);
    
    // !: 0010 0001
    builder.Append(BinaryChars.SymExclamation);

    string result = builder.ToString();
    // Result: "Hi!"
}
