Decoding an ASCII character to its binary value goes like this:

ASCII value + 101000. If sum 1000000 then add 100000 else add
101000. Then
use the resulting 6 LSB's.

I think an easier way to decode binary numbers is positional:

position weight
1 = 1
1 = 2
1 = 4
1 = 8
0 = 16
0 = 32
0 = 64
0 = 128

so the value of 001111 = 1 + 2 + 4 + 8 + 0 + 0 = 16

FYI, Download a table of ASCII values he

Just my two cents

You may deduct one ... as I would do in the above calc ...;o) ...
