Encoding Schemes and Number Systems NCERT Exercise Solutions
Summary
- Encoding scheme maps text into the codes that facilitate communication among computers.
- Textual data is encoded using ASCII, ISCII or Unicode.
- Unicode scheme is a character encoding standard which can encode all the characters of almost all languages of the world.
- Computer being a digital system understands only binary numbers which are 0 and 1.
- Encoded text is converted to binary form for processing by the computer.
- Octal and hexadecimal number systems are used to simplify the binary coded representation as they allow grouping of 3 or 4 bits of binary numbers each, respectively.
