Explanation of Solution

ASCII character Set:

The ASCII stands for “American Standard Code for Information Interchange”.

  • It uses 128 unique characters which represent the English letters, punctuation marks and other characters.
  • It is the most important coding scheme in computer memory to represent characters in computer memory.
  • It uses seven bits to represent each character in the set. Check bit is used as the eighth bit to ensure proper data transmission.
  • Extended ASCII character version includes the eighth bit and allows 256 unique characters, which includes some additional symbols and some accented letters.

  • ASCII character set as well as Unicode character set treats uppercase and lowercase letters distinctly...
