Which of the following code uses 7 bits to represent a character ?
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is D ASCII
ASCII was indeed originally
conceived as a 7-bit code. This was done well before 8-bit bytes became
ubiquitous, and even into the 1990s you could find software that assumed it
could use the 8th bit of each byte of text for its own purposes ("not
8-bit clean").
