I'm not really up on maths so this is possibly a stupid question, but can't any real number be written as an ASCII string, which is basically an integer number, so there is a direct mapping there?

Or is it because the ASCII number wouldn't be in order that makes the difference?

Or is it that you can't write that mapping as a mathematical function perhaps?
