Why is mainframe used in programs?
A mainframe is just a physically very large computer, it is programmed no differently than minicomputers and microcomputers. All computers were mainframe computers before the early 1960s (because of the size of vacuum tubes and the first discrete transistors), when discrete transistors and then integrated circuits made possible the smaller minicomputers. In 1971 Intel introduced the microprocessor integrated circuit making the even smaller microcomputers possible.
What is a 5 basic characteristics of computer?
supercomputers, mainframe computers, workstations, microcomputers and microcontrollers
What are the different uses of digital microprocessor?
A microprocessor incorporates most or all of the functions of a computer's central processing units on a single IC, or microchip. The first microprocessors emerged in the early 1970s and were used for electronic calculators using binary-coded decimal (BCD) arithmetic in 4-bit words. Other embedded uses of 4-bit and 8-bit microprocessors, such as terminals, printers, various kinds of automation etc., followed soon after. Affordable 8-bit microprocessors with 16-bit addressing also led to the first general-purpose microcomputers from the mid-1970s on.

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.
