In the days even before Basic was a programming language, when Fortran was about the only high level language there was, strings were not expressed using quotation marks but, rather, using Hollerith code.
This consisted of a number, being the length of the string, the letter "H" and then the string itself. Thus, for example:
12HHELLO WORLD!
The number 12 takes into account the length of the text "HELLO WORLD!". It does not include the "H" that introduces the Hollerith code. Quotation marks were not used.

How do you convert hollerith code?
Hollerith code is a method of encoding data using punched cards, where each character is represented by a specific pattern of holes. To convert Hollerith code, you must first identify the specific hole pattern for each character based on the encoding scheme used. This typically involves using a reference chart that maps the hole patterns to their corresponding characters. Once the patterns are matched, you can translate the entire sequence into readable text or data.
