  • 5. The most common binary code in use today is the 8 bit ASCII code. What do the letters ASCII stand for?
  • filter_dramaExplanation
    Answer is : B
    ASCII to Extended ASCII characters (8-bit system) and ANSI Code: In the 1960s, a need for standardization led to ASCII, which is a 7-bit system. But later almost everything was done in an 8-bit system. With 7 bits, 128 numbers (0-127 in decimal notation) are available to code characters. A bit is a binary digit which can have either two values, on or off. Seven bits can have 2^7 or 128 possible unique values. ASCII was soon expanded to an 8-bit system that has 256 code points, 0-255 (8-bit corresponds to 2 ^ 8 ie. 256 possibilities). There are many variants of Extended ASCII characters (8-bit system) to cover regional characters and symbols. One example is the extended ASCII characters which includes various letters needed for writing languages of Western Europe and certain special characters. Source : wikipedia.org

  • 7. EBCDIC can code up to how many different characters?
  • filter_dramaExplanation
    Answer is : E
    EBCDIC (Extended Binary Coded Decimal Interchange Code ) is a binary code for alphabetic and numeric characters that IBM developed for its larger operating systems. It is the code for text files that is used in IBM's OS/390 operating system for its S/390 servers and that thousands of corporations use for their legacy applications and databases. In an EBCDIC file, each alphabetic or numeric character is represented with an 8-bit binary number (a string of eight 0's or 1's). 256 possible characters (letters of the alphabet, numerals, and special characters) are defined.
