ASCII whitespace characters

The ASCII whitespace characters consist of the ASCII format effectors (a subset of the ASCII control characters) and the space (ASCII [invisible] nongraphic printable character)

BS, HT, LF, VT, FF, CR and <space>

with corresponding ASCII codes within the range [8 .. 13] and 32.

The hexadecimal codes are [x08 .. x0D] and x20.

Line endings

Line endings have been done in all of three different ways!

  • Unix/MacOS X: LF
  • Traditional Mac: CR
  • DOS/Windows: CR LF

NOTE: In the Main OEIS, line endings must be LF (Unix style). (Cf. b-files)

However, "thanks to help from Brendan McKay," Neil Sloane "automated the process that converts non-Unix b-files to Unix format, and also replaces tab characters with spaces" so that contributors may freely use DOS/Windows and traditional Mac (pre Mac OS X) text editors to make b-files.[1]

ASCII printable characters

The ninety-five ASCII printable characters (including the space  , an [invisible] nongraphic printable character, just before !)

 !"#$%&'()*+,-./ and 0123456789 and :;<=>?@ and ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ and [\]^_` and abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz and {|}~

are the characters with corresponding ASCII code within the range [32 .. 126]. (ASCII code 32 corresponds to the space character. The space character is considered an [invisible] nongraphic printable character, not a control character.)

The hexadecimal codes are [x20 .. x7E].

ASCII graphic/nongraphic characters

Among the ninety-five ASCII printable characters, there are the ninety-four [visible] ASCII graphic characters (of which the space is not) and the [invisible] ASCII nongraphic character, namely the space character.

ASCII symbol characters

The thirty-three ASCII symbol characters (including the space   (invisible printable character) just before !)

 !"#$%&'()*+,-./ and :;<=>?@ and [\]^_` and {|}~

are the characters with corresponding ASCII code within the ranges [32 .. 47], [58 .. 64], [91 .. 96] and [123 .. 126]. (ASCII code 32 corresponds to the space character. The space character is considered an [invisible] nongraphic printable character, not a control character.)

The hexadecimal codes are [x20 .. x2F], [x3A .. x40], [x5B .. x60] and [x7B .. x7E].

(In programming, the NUL control character is used for null pointers and for null terminated [C/C++] strings.)
