The original ASCII code used ___________ bits of each byte, reserving that last bit for error checking.
The original ASCII code used ___________ bits of each byte, reserving that last bit for error checking.
The correct option is B 7
The original ASCII code used 7 bits of each byte,
reserving that last bit for error checking.
ASCII is the American Standard Code for Information
Interchange. It is a 7-bit code. The original ASCII table is encoded on 7 bits
therefore it has 128 characters. ASCII and 7-bit ASCII are
synonymous. Since the 8-bit byte is the common storage element, ASCII leaves
room for 128 additional characters, which are used to represent a host of
foreign language and other symbols (see code page).
The basic ASCII set uses 7 bits for each character,
giving it a total of 128 unique symbols. The extended ASCII character set uses
8 bits, which gives it an additional 128 characters. The extra characters
represent characters from foreign languages and special symbols for drawing
pictures.
