ASCII CODE AND EBCDIC CODE

Hello friends, today we learn about gray code and bcd code in it, so let's start

ASCII CODE AND EBCDIC CODE 

    ASCII CODE-: 

ASCII stands for “American standard code for information interchanges “, It has become a world standard alphanumeric code for micro-computer. It is a 7-bit code and it can represent maximum 27=128 different characters. These character represent 26 uppercase letter (A-Z), 26 lowercase letter (a-z), 10 digit(0-9), 33 special symbol character and 33 control characters.

The 7 bit of this code are divided into two parts. First 3 bit of left are called zone bits and next four bits of right side are called numeric bits.

An 8 bits version of ASCII code is also available , which is know as USACC-II or ASCII-8. They can represent maximum of 256 characters.

EBCDIC code-:

EBCDIC stands for “Extended binary coded decimal interchanges”. It is basically used for large computer like a mainframe. It ia an 8-bit code and with the help of this code we can represent maximum 28=256 characters. The 8 bit of EBCDIC code is know as zone bits and last four bits are known as numeric bits.

Note: Values are based on the 0-255 scale. 

Example -: ASCII to EBCDIC Conversion, COBOL functions require a 1-256 scale;

 ASCII or EBCDIC character is represent by 2 hexadecimal digit. For example, ASCII character E is hexadecimal 45 or X'45'. To find the location of the ASCII character E , you can go down to row 4.  Second hexadecimal digit is 5, you can move across to column 5. point at which they meet the hexadecimal value X'C5'. This hexadecimal EBCDIC value for E is X'C5'. If you want the E to be represented by a different EBCDIC hexadecimal value you can edit this value in this table. When a transfer has completed and the data is converted to EBCDIC, the new value is used.

Hello friends, today we learn about the First generation of computers, features of first-generation computers ,and  advantages and disadvantages of first-generation computers in it, so let's start. INTRODUCTION - :       The First-generation of computer-: The period of the first generation was from 1940 to 1956. The first-generation computers relied upon the machine language, to owest-level programming language understood by computers, to perform operations, and they could only solve one problem at a time. The first generation computer uses a vacuum tube as the basic component because the vacuum tube is the only electronic component available on those days. The vacuum tube is used for circuitry and magnetic drums are used for memory.  First generation of computer | Advantages and Disadvantages of first-generation computers   The general technical features of the first-generation computer are -: (i)Use of vacuum...

Hello friends, today we learn about gray code and bcd code in it, so let's start Gray Code and BCD Code(Binary Coded Decimal) Gray code-: Digital system process data into discrete form. Many system supplies continuous or analog data nut it should be converted before using it in the digital system. Sometimes Gray code is used for digital system. Gray code belong to the categories of minimum changes code, in which only one bit in the code changes when moving from one code to the next. Gray code is non weighted code it means it does not contain any weight according to its position. The gray code is a reflective digital code which has the special property that any two subsequent numbers code differ by only one bit. Decimal number Binary number Gray code 0 0000 0000 1 0001 0001 2 0010 0011 3 0011 0010 4 0100 0110 5 0101 0111 6 0110 0101 7 0111 0110 8 1000 1100 ...
