title: How is audio represented with numbers in computers?
body: <p>I like thinking about how everything can be and is represented by numbers. For example, plaintext is represented by a code like ASCII, and images are represented by RGB values. These are the simplest ways to represent text and images.</p>
  
  <p>What is the simplest way that audio can be represented with numbers? I want to learn how to write programs that work with audio and thought this would be a good way to start. I can't seem to find any good explanations on the internet, though.</p>
