EBCDIC (Extended Binary Coded Decimal Interchange Code) and ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) are two-character encoding methods used in digital communication to represent characters. ASCII is a character encoding method that uses a 7-bit code to represent 128 characters, which include letters, numbers, and special characters. EBCDIC has 256 characters and is used to represent a wide variety of characters, such as letters, numbers, special characters, and control characters. Read this article to find out more about EBCDIC and ASCII and how they are different from each other. What is EBCDIC? IBM created EBCDIC (Extended Binary Coded ... Read More

ASCII, stands for American Standard Code for Information Interchange which is a method used for encoding characters by assigning them to a specific numerical value. The numerical values thus assigned are known as ASCII codes and are extensively utilized in computer systems to represent various characters including letters, numbers, punctuation marks, and special control characters. Example 1: Using charCodeAt() The following code illustrates a program to receive input character from the user using the ‘charCodeAt()’ function and then display the corresponding ASCII code for that character. Syntax string.charCodeAt(index) Algorithm Step 1 :Start with declaring the HTML tag. Step ... Read More

ASCII and UNICODE are the two most extensively used character encoding schemes in computer systems. The most basic difference between ASCII and UNICODE is that ASCII is used to represent text in form of symbols, numbers, and character, whereas UNICODE is used to exchange, process, and store text data in any language. What is ASCII? ASCII stands for American Standard Code for Information Interchange. It is a standard developed for character encoding in electronic communication. ASCII was first published in 1963. In computers and other electronic systems, it is used for representing text as symbols, characters, and numbers. In ASCII, ... Read More
