ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) is the most common format for text files in computers and on the internet. In an ASCII file, each alphabetic, numeric, or special character is represented with a 7-bit binary number (a string of seven 0s or 1s). 128 possible characters are defined.

What is an 8 bit string of data needed to represent any one alphanumeric character or simple mathematical operation?

An 8-bit string of data used to represent alphanumeric characters and simple mathematical operations is commonly referred to as a byte. The ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) encoding scheme uses 7 bits for character representation, allowing for 128 unique characters, while the 8th bit can be used for parity or additional control. This enables the representation of letters, digits, punctuation, and basic mathematical symbols. For example, the character 'A' is represented in binary as 01000001.

What is a Chinese character?

Some early Chinese characters were pictographs (pictures of what they represent), but over the years have become more and more abstract. A few still bear a resemblance to the thing described, such as 人 (ren2) = person (looks like a simple stick man), 手 (shou3) = hand, or 口 (kou3) = a mouth or opening. Some which may have started as pictographs have been altered or simplified beyond recognition - e.g. 马 (ma3) = horse. In modern Chinese, a character is essentially a word, though many Chinese words consist of two or even three characters together. Unlike phonetic languages, where the symbols represent the sounds, characters contain little or no clue to their pronunciation.

Are characters that have the same personality as their surname corny?

They are rather childish. Little kids need simple characters with names that tell who they are, but as we grow older, we like more realistic characters with more realistic names. We can tell what the character's personality is like by reading their actions and speech.


How is ASCII used to represent text in a computer system?

ASCII is a simple (and increasingly obsolete) code which maps alphanumeric characters to numbers in the 0..255 range. Thus, any phrase expressed as a series of these alphanumeric characters can be expressed as a series of bytes with the corresponding numeric values, one byte per character. For example, the letter A is represented by a byte of numerical decimal value 65. It is characteristic for the ASCII code that it supports a limited alphabet of 256 different characters. While this might seem much in light of the fact that the 26 characters cover the A-Z alphabet, codes are assigned to lower-case and upper-case characters, digits, punctuation marks, a wide range of other characters including some simple symbols, and a range of 'foreign characters.' With today's demands on localized software and support for the local alphabet, the ASCII code becomes increasingly obsolete because it cannot support a great number of non-English alphabets.

In The Lord of the Rings the character of Frodo is complex whereas his sidekick Sam is simple and relatively unchanging In the example of these characters you can say that?

Frodo is a round character; Sam is a flat character.No. You can't. Because it's not true. They both change. But not much, because Tolkien is the worst at writing character development. It was not even ordinary to write multi-layered characters back then, at least not as it is now, and yet the stories and characters were better back then. How does that even work? :/
