HOW CHARACTERS ARE STORED
• BIT: Binary Digit. On/Off, 0/1, Magnetic/Not
• BYTE: Group of bits for one character
– EBCDIC- Extended Binary Coded Decimal
Interchange Code (8 bits per byte)
– ASCII- American Standard Code for
Information Exchange (7 or 8 bits per
byte)
• PARITY BIT: extra bit added to each byte
to help detect errors
6.6
EXAMPLES OF BYTES
EBCDIC
ASCII
(assume even-parity system)
C: 1100 0011 0
100 0011 1
A: 1100 0001 1
100 0001 0
T: 1110 0011 1
101 0100 1
Note how sum for each byte is an EVEN
number
