Morse code is a method of encoding text characters as sequences of dots and dashes (or short and long signals) to be transmitted via sound, light, or visual signals. It was originally developed in the early 1830s by Samuel Morse and Alfred Vail for use in telegraphy.
Each letter of the alphabet, number, or punctuation mark has a unique sequence of dots and dashes. For example:
- "A" is represented as ".-"
- "B" is represented as "-..."
- "1" is represented as ".----"
Morse code can be transmitted in various ways, such as tapping sounds, flashing lights, or radio signals, and it's still used in aviation, maritime communication, and emergency signaling.
