Description:
    - This script calculates MD5 sums for every ASCII character and saves them to a file.

Functions:
    - md5sum(string):
        Return the MD5 sum of a given string.
    - calculate_ascii_md5():
        Calculate MD5 sums for every ASCII character.
    - save_md5_to_file(md5_dict, filename):
        Save the MD5 dictionary to a file in JSON format.

Requirements:
    - Python 3.x

Usage:
    - Run the script to generate MD5 sums for ASCII characters and save them to 'sum_ascii.txt'.

Additional Notes:
    - This script may take some time to complete, depending on the speed of the system.
