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.
How many hamming bits are required for a single EBCDIC character?
To represent a single EBCDIC character, typically 8 bits are required. However, to ensure error detection and correction, additional parity bits known as Hamming bits are added. In the case of a single EBCDIC character, typically 4 Hamming bits are added, resulting in a total of 12 bits to represent the character. These Hamming bits help detect and correct errors that may occur during transmission or storage of the data.
Why you need 8 bit in ascii when 128 symbols represented by ascii can be accommodated in 7 bits?
While the original ASCII standard uses 7 bits to represent 128 characters, the 8th bit is often utilized for various purposes, such as error checking, parity bits, or to extend the character set. This allows for the representation of additional characters beyond the standard ASCII set, accommodating various languages and special symbols. Furthermore, using 8 bits aligns better with modern computing architectures, which typically operate on bytes (8 bits), making data processing more efficient.
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.
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 minimum number of bits required to represent the decimal 1000?

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%.
How many character in 16 bit integer?
A 16-bit integer can represent 65,536 distinct values, ranging from -32,768 to 32,767 for signed integers or from 0 to 65,535 for unsigned integers. Each character typically requires one byte (8 bits) in encoding schemes like ASCII. Therefore, a 16-bit integer can store up to 2 characters when using standard ASCII encoding, as 16 bits can hold 2 bytes.
