What code do microcomputers use to represrnt character data?
Microcomputers typically use the ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) code to represent character data. ASCII uses 7 or 8 bits to represent each character, allowing for a total of 128 or 256 possible characters, respectively.
How many characters are in a nibble?
A nibble (also known as a nybble or nyble) can represent half a character(two nibbles are needed for a valid ASCII character). A nibble is made up of 4 bits and those 4 bits are usually represented by a single hexadecimal value. 4 bits only allows for 16 combinations, 8 bits allows for 255. An ASCII character is represented by two hexadecimal characters, which is the same as 8 bits or two nibbles.
What is the limitation of ASCII code?
Basic ASCII does not have enough bits to deal with languages with large character sets.
Love you to bits?
In ASCII encoding, if that's what you mean by "bits": 110110011011111110110110010100100000111100111011111110101 That's "love you", in ASCII.
How many characters in 32bits?
If the characters are 8 bits then you have 4 for them in 32 bits. ASCII is an 7 bit character set but in most programming languages a char is 8 bits.
What is the minimum number of bits required to represent the decimal 1000?
9 bits
A set of bits that represent a single character?
bites
How many bit are used to encode an ASCII character?
All ASCII character sets have exactly 128 characters, thus only 7-bits are required to represent each character as an integer in the range 0 to 127 (0x00 to 0x7F). If additional bits are available (most systems use at least an 8-bit byte), all the high-order bits must be zeroed. ANSI is similar to ASCII but uses 8-bit encodings rather than 7-bit encodings. If bit-7 (the high-order bit of an 8-bit byte) is not set (0), the 8-bit encoding typically represents one of the 128 standard ASCII character codes (0-127). If set (1), it represents a character from the extended ASCII character set (128-255). To ensure correct interpretation of the encodings, most ANSI code pages are standardised to include the standard ASCII character set, however the extended character set depends upon which ANSI code page was active during encoding and the same code page must be used during decoding. ANSI typically caters for US/UK-English characters (using ASCII) along with foreign language support, mostly European (Spanish, German, French, Italian). Languages which require more characters than can be provided by ANSI alone must use a multi-byte encoding, such as fixed-width UNICODE or variable-width UTF-8. However, these encodings are standardised such that the first 128 characters (the standard ASCII character set) have the same 7-bit representation (with all high-order bits zeroed).
What is the efficiency of ascii character using asynchronous data with two stop bits?
The efficiency of ascii characters using asynchronous data transfer protocol with two stop bits is 8 in 11, or 72%. There is one start bit, eight data bits*, and two stop bits. That is 11 bit cells, in which a payload of 8 bits is possible, hence the 8 in 11. *Actually there are only 7 data bits in ASCII... latin-1 and several other incompatible extensions to ASCII have 8. Which one is in use varies between languages - many European countries use different encodings which have the same meanings for the first 128 characters but different for the second 128 depending on what extra characters are required in the language in question. If the payload was 7 bits, for pure ASCII, then the efficiency with one start bit and two stop bits would be 7 in 10, or 70%.
What is the a byte?
A Byte is a collection of eight bits that can represent a single character.
How many bits are in extended ASCII byte?
An extended ASCII byte (like all bytes) contains 8 bits, or binary digits.
How much memory does it take to store the letter A?
You can store any of the 127 characters in the ASCII table using just 7 bits. The letter A has character code 65 (0x41) in all ASCII code pages. The code simply maps to the character's glyph in the current code page so you're not actually storing the letter, you are only storing its code. On most systems, the smallest unit of storage is a byte which is typically 8 bits long. The 8th bit is used to determine whether the character is in the standard ASCII character set (0 to 127) or the extended ASCII character set (128 to 255). Only the standard character set is guaranteed to be the same on all systems (the glyphs may vary in style but always represent the same character). The extended character set varies depending on which code page is current. If using UNICODE wide-characters, the character code will consume 2 or 4 bytes. On Windows, it is always 2 bytes. But if using multi-byte character encoding or standard ASCII, it is always 1 byte,
