Morse code

Morse code is a method of transmitting text information as a series of on-off tones, clicks, or electrical pulses that represent letters, numbers, and other characters. It was developed by Samuel Morse and Alfred Vail in the 1830s and is named after Morse.

Morse code uses a system of dots (short signals) and dashes (long signals) to represent each letter and numeral. For example:

• A = .-
• B = -...
• C = -.-.
• 1 = .----
• 2 = ..---
• 3 = ...--

Each character is separated by a short space, and each word is separated by a longer space.

"Hello world" in Morse code is written as:

.... . .-.. .-.. --- / .-- --- .-. .-.. -..
