The ASCII code uses seven-bit patterns to denote 128 different characters.

Ten of the characters are decimal digits 0 to 9. The higher order bits have the same pattern for all 10 digits. Each digit is identified by the low-order four bits using the binary patters of these digits. Capital and lowercase letters are encoded in a way that makes sorting of textual information easy.

How binary is stored in a computer?

There are several codes. One of the older ones is the American Standard Code for Information Interchange (ASCII). It used a 7-bit code which permitted 128 characters. When that number was found to be inadequate the American Nation Standards Institute (ANSI) introduced an 8-bit version. Computers use ANSI code pages which are whole sets of ANSI codes. Then there are other systems like UNICODE.


What is the Application of ASCII?

This is a language used in computers.this is low level language.it is also called machine level language sorry but your a bit confused machine language is the number equvilant of assembly (add jmp ret or clr) ascii is the format that came about with 8 bit teletype 1" paper tape the first one was baudout 5 bit tape which allows 32 different letters so in a language like English with 26 letters if you want to put a number in a message it must be in this format "twenty nine" a-z is 26 32- 26 is 6 so the '0 to 9' wont fit baudot code introduced one of the codes for a shift Figures to go back Letters so now you can do 0-9 and sixteen more codes "$%#()...,,," ascii used a fill 1" wide paper tape that has 8 holes for the unbelievable shift to 256 characters A..Z 0..9 leaves us 220 so hey add a..z %$&... keep the old six ACK NAK BEL dont need letters figures anymore this entire page is ascii up on your browser there's a button that says view page source you can see the ascii it has codes between <> that is called HTML telling your computer " big little red blue picturehere" next came unicode which is 16bit letters adds Greek Spanish Russian and maybe 40,000 Chinese characters (simplified)


Are the same programming languages that used to create computer software also used in video game systems such as Xbox and PS3?

Yes. Games for consoles are written, like PC programs, in languages such as C. To enable these games to run on consoles, instead of PCs, a few changes are made, however. Different code libraries are used, so code for drawing onscreen or grabbing input will differ. A different compiler, designed for the console, is used to compile the program into machine code. In general, though, the C code for a PC game is much like the C code for its console counterpart. Assuming that it's written in C, obviously.

What is the limitation of ASCII code?

Basic ASCII does not have enough bits to deal with languages with large character sets.


State the purpose of the parity track devices?

A parity bit, or check bit, is a bit that is added to ensure that the number of bits with the value one in a set of bits is even or odd. Parity bits are used as the simplest form of error detecting code.

What is the difference between parity and non-parity memory?

Non-parity memory is memory without parity. Parity memory is memory with extra bits, sometimes one, sometimes more, that accompany the word. These extra parity bits are generated to a known value, typically to make the total number of bits on that word even or odd. When the word is retrieved, the parity bits are compared against what they should be. If they are different, then one or more of the bits in the original word or in the parity bits must have changed. This is an error condition that can be trapped. In a multiple parity bit system, the calculation of the bits allows not only for the detection of a changed bit, but also for the identification of which bit changed. This is known as ECC parity, or Error-Correcting-Code. Often, you can detect and correct any one bit error, and you can detect, but not correct, any two bit error. Since random bits changes are rare, those that do occur are usually one bit errors, making ECC parity valuable for high reliability systems such as servers.


What is Hamming Code Explain its importance with suitable example?

Hamming Code is a system involving multiple parity bits per word such that not only can errors be detected but certain types of errors can be corrected. The first Hamming Code was called (7,4) because it added 3 parity bits to 4 data bits, creating a 7 bit code. See link for example.


Original ASCII codes were 7 bit or 8 bit?

ASCII is a 7 bit code. There are many nonstandard extensions of ASCII to 8 or 9 bits by various computer companies. ASCII was developed to replace the obsolete 6 bit BAUDOT teletype code and was never originally intended for use on computers.

What is difference between convolutional codes and linear block code?

In linear block codes we use individual registers seperately for message bits and for parity bits while transmitting where in case of convolutional codes we use only one register and here the left most bit is the message bit and remaining are parity bits


Consider even parity design a haming code for the ascii character 'A'?

The ASCII character A is a 65 in decimal. That means it is 0100 0001 in binary. The hamming code uses extra bits to encode parity information, so the character A would be: _ _ 0 _ 1 0 0 _ 0 0 0 1 where the _ indicates a parity bit * Position 1 checks bits 1,3,5,7,9,11:? _ 0_ 1 0 0 _ 0 0 01With even parity, the bit must be a 10 _ 0_ 1 0 0 _ 0 0 01* Position 2 checks bits 2,3,6,7,10,11:0 ? 0 _ 1 0 0 _ 0 0 0 1With even parity, the bit must be a 00 0 0 _ 1 0 0 _ 0 0 0 1* Position 4 checks bits 4,5,6,7,12:0 0 0 ? 1 0 0 _ 0 0 0 1With even parity, the bit must be a 0:0 0 0 0 1 0 0 _ 0 0 0 1* Position 8 checks bits 8,9,10,11,12:0 0 0 0 1 0 0 ? 0 0 0 1With even parity, the bit must be a 10 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 The encoded character is 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 1
