Can anyone explain what is Morse code?

If I was asking this question it would mean I needed a simple straight forward answer, not one from someone trying to impress me on their literary prowess and still not have it answered. I am dumb and could never read it, it is letters formed by dots and dashes either by light or sound, in the case of light there is a quick flash representing a dot a longer beam of light for a dash, with sound it is a short sound for a dot, a longer one for the dash, the only three that I can demonstrate are the s the o and the v. V is ..._ S is ... O is _ _ _

Morse code is a character encoding for transmitting telegraphic information, using standardized sequences of short and long elements to represent the letters, numerals, punctuation and special characters of a given message. The short and long elements can be formed by sounds, marks, or pulses, in on off keying and are commonly known as "dots" and "dashes" or "dits" and "dahs".

a signal or sound sound, that when sounded in a sequence can be interpreted as a message or information, by someone who is familiar with it. it is made in a series or length between signals as well as length of signal

it's an urban legend...jk...

It's a bunch of beeps of short and long combined to make letters like one letter might be short long and then all the letters are put together to spell words
