Question

24.

a) Given that the ASCII code for A is 1000001, what is the ASCII code for J?

b) Given that the EBCDIC code for A is 1100 0001, what is the EBCDIC code for J?

Answer

a)

To determine the ASCII code for J, we can start with the ASCII code for A and increment it by 9, as J is the 10th letter following A in the alphabet.

The ASCII code for A is 1000001 in binary. Adding 9 in decimal (1001 in binary) to the ASCII code of A gives us:

1000001 (A) + 1001 (9) = 1001010

Therefore, the ASCII code for J is 1001010.

 

b)

EBCDIC (Extended Binary Coded Decimal Interchange Code) is a character encoding used in IBM mainframe systems. The mapping of characters in EBCDIC is different from ASCII.

Given that the EBCDIC code for A is 1100 0001 in binary, we can determine the EBCDIC code for J by incrementing the code for A by 9, similar to the ASCII case.

1100 0001 (A) + 1001 (9) = 1100 1010

Therefore, the EBCDIC code for J is 1100 1010.
