Character use only one byte why Java use two byte for character?

The number of bytes used by a character varies from language to language. Java uses a 16-bit (two-byte) character so that it can represent many non-Latin characters in the Unicode character set.


What is 7-bit code?

7-bit code is an encoding scheme that uses just 7 bits. 7-bit encoding allows positive values in the range 0 through 127. ANSI is a 7-bit encoding scheme. When used on an 8-bit system, bit 7 is always zero (where bit 0 is always the least significant bit). Bit 7 is used by the ASCII extended character set, where the first 127 characters are the same as those defined by the ANSI character set. 7-bit encoding was often used in early tele-printing where bit 7 was not needed. In this way, they could encode eight 7-bit characters into a 56-bit package which could be transmitted and decoded by the 7-bit teleprinter -- the idea being that the fewer bits you transmit, the quicker it will be to send the data across a telephone line.


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).


How do you lowercase to uppercase in c plus plus and viceversa?

To convert to uppercase, subtract 32 from all characters in the range 'a' to 'z'. To convert to lower-case, add 32 to all characters in the range 'A' to 'Z'. Note that each character is mapped to a value in the ASCII character table and the difference between character 'A' (#65) and character 'a' (#97) is 32. Using binary notation, characters in the range 65 to 91 ('A' to 'Z') have most significant bits 010 while characters in the range 92 to 122 ('a' to 'z') have most significant bits 011. Therefore switching bit 5 automatically flips a character between uppercase and lower-case, providing the character is an alphabetic character to begin with.


How many character in 1 KB?

1 Kb is 1024 bytes and 1 character takes 1 byte of the main memory. So, it is 1024 chars in 1 Kb. The preceding is only true for languages which have 8-bit characters. Most modern computer languages support the concept of Unicode, which allows for character encodings in various languages. The most widespread Unicode encoding format is UTF-8, which uses between 1 and 4 bytes to represent a specific character symbol. For instance, the Java programming language assumes all characters are in Unicode UTF-16 format, which is a 16-bit character encoding. So, in Java, only 512 characters will fit in 1 kB.

How man character's can 8 bytes store?

One byte is made up of 8 bits, and each bit can store 1 character. Therefore, 8 Bytes can store 64 Characters.

How many characters can 1 bit do?

None. A single binary digit can only be in one of two possible states. What that state physically represents is merely an abstraction: on or off, yes or no, positive or negative, true or false, black or white, the digits 0 or 1 and the characters 'A' or 'B' are all valid abstractions for the two possible states that any one bit may hold. But the computer has no notion of numbers let alone characters. These are simply our interpretation of what these states represent. The ANSI character set has 127 characters in total which we can identify using an array of 7-bits (yielding a decimal value in the range 0 through 127). The character 'A' is represented by the binary value 1000001 (65 decimal), while 'B' is 1000010 (66 decimal). Thus we could choose between these two individual characters by saying that if a particular bit is set then we select character 65, otherwise we select character 66. However, the computer cannot do it alone -- it has no logic circuitry capable of deciding which of any two characters a single bit represents. We must program it, which requires a good deal more than just 1 bit. Thus a single bit cannot "do" any characters.


IT What is a simple character set that can represent 128 different characters?

The ASCII character set is a simple character set that can represent 128 different characters, including letters, numbers, punctuation marks, and control characters. Each character is represented by a 7-bit code, allowing for 128 unique combinations.

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.


Is it normal to be completely and utterly in love with a tv character?

The object of any television show is to build the interest of the viewers. The characters are created to be loved or hated. While it is not unusual to idolize a fictional character, it may be a bit excessive to be literally in love with one.


What is the difference between main and subordinate characters?

Main characters are the "heroes" or those characters who drive the narrative or action of the story. The "subordinate characters" give the main characters a bit more definition or dimension by interacting with them positively or negatively. They include anyone who is not a main character.


What is the maximum number of words you can type in the Microsoft Word?

There is no limit on words, but on characters. Depending on the character set you are using, each character is represented by 8 or 16 units of information, generally. If you have a 64-bit computer, it can handle, I believe, 4,294,967,296 (4.29 billion) characters in a standard character set such as Unicode-8.
