Information Coding Scheme

What is the definition of ASCII?

• American Standard Code for Information Interchange

• Character encoding standard

• Alphanumeric Symbol Character Index

• Automated System for Character Identification

Provide an example of ASCII.

• D (Decimal value: 68)

• 'A' (Decimal value: 65)

• B (Decimal value: 66)

• C (Decimal value: 67)

How does EBCDIC compare with ASCII?

• EBCDIC and ASCII use the same character set

• EBCDIC has fewer characters than ASCII

• EBCDIC and ASCII have the same number of bits per character

• EBCDIC and ASCII differ in the characters they support, the number of bits used per character, and the arrangement of characters.

Explain the definition of UNICODE.

• UNICODE is a programming language used for web development

• UNICODE is a type of computer virus

• UNICODE is a standard for encoding, representing, and handling text in various writing systems.

• UNICODE is a hardware component in computers

Compare UNICODE with ASCII.

• UNICODE and ASCII are interchangeable

• UNICODE is only used for numbers

• ASCII has more characters than UNICODE

• UNICODE supports a wider range of characters compared to ASCII.

Describe the ASCII coding scheme.

• ASCII is a character encoding scheme that uses 6 bits to represent 64 characters.

• ASCII is a character encoding scheme that uses 7 bits to represent 128 characters.

• ASCII is a character encoding scheme that uses 8 bits to represent 256 characters.

• ASCII is a character encoding scheme that uses 16 bits to represent 1024 characters.

Which coding scheme is commonly used for representing text in computers?

• ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange)

• UTF-8 (Unicode Transformation Format - 8-bit)

• ISO 8859-1 (Latin-1)

• ANSI (American National Standards Institute)

Can you give an example of UNICODE?

• UTF-16 is an example of UNICODE.

• UTF-8 is an example of UNICODE.

• ANSI is an example of UNICODE.

• ASCII is an example of UNICODE.

Discuss the comparison between ASCII and EBCDIC.

• ASCII is a 6-bit encoding scheme, while EBCDIC is a 9-bit encoding scheme.

• ASCII and EBCDIC are both 8-bit encoding schemes.

• ASCII is a 7-bit encoding scheme, while EBCDIC is an 8-bit encoding scheme primarily used in IBM mainframe computers.

• EBCDIC is primarily used in personal computers, while ASCII is used in mainframes.

Define ASCII and its usage.

• ASCII is used for encrypting files

• ASCII is a character encoding standard used for representing text in computers.

• ASCII is a type of computer virus

• ASCII is a programming language
