Write a note on ASCII code.

Answer»
  • ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) is the most widely used coding system to represent data.
  • ASCII is used on many personal computers and minicomputers.
  •  ASCII is a 7-bit code that permits 2<sup>7</sup> = 128 distinct characters. The 128 different combinations that can be represented in 7 bits are plenty to allow for all the letters, numbers and special symbols.
  • An eight bit was added. This allowed extra 128 characters to be represented. The extra 128 combinations are used for symbols such as Ç, ü, è, ©, ®, Æ, etc.
