Which coding scheme is used by IBM?
Correct answer: B. EBCDIC (Extended Binary Coded Decimal Interchange Code)
- A. ASCIl
- B. EBCDIC (Extended Binary Coded Decimal Interchange Code)
- C. BCD
- D. Unicod
Explanation
EBCDIC (Extended Binary Coded Decimal Interchange Code) is a character encoding scheme historically used by IBM on its mainframe computers and other systems. It assigns an 8-bit binary code to represent various characters, including letters, numbers, and special symbols. While ASCII is more prevalent on many personal computers, EBCDIC remains relevant in IBM's mainframe environment.
