Show how your surname would be stored using ASCII code?

Stored? It would not be stored as ASCII -- ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) is in common use in the US (EBCDIC - Extended Binary Coded Decimal Interchange Code is another type of ASCII and is used in many European countries.)My name is, for example, Bill TheCat - TheCat is my surname and is represented (not stored) in ASCII as "TheCat". Computers store data as 0s and 1s (in BINARY, which is not the same as EBCDIC) format.

What is the important of binary systems in computer?

All information on computers (and other electronic as well as most optical storage devices) is stored and processed in binary form. This may be bits that are either magnetised or not magnetised in electronic storage, or pits and bands in optical devices. This one-or-the-other is a means of coding information in a binary fashion.

7 Why is binary code suitable for use with computers?

Binary is well suited for computers because it only needs two symbols to represent numbers a 1 and a 0. In a computer a circuit can be in 2 states on and off hence in the simplest implementation"on" represents a 1 and "off" a 0.
