Question

question 4 of 10
the capital letter m is expressed as 01001101 in which system?

a. hexadecimal code

b. ascii

c. unicode

d. binary code

Explanation:

• Hexadecimal code uses base - 16 digits (0 - 9, A - F) and is not represented as a sequence of only 0s and 1s in this 8 - bit form.
• ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) represents characters using 7 - bit or 8 - bit binary numbers. The capital letter 'M' has an ASCII value of 77 in decimal, which is 01001101 in 8 - bit binary.
• Unicode is a more comprehensive character encoding standard that can use different bit - lengths, but the 8 - bit binary representation 01001101 for 'M' is also part of the ASCII subset of Unicode. However, the question is asking for the system that the 01001101 representation of 'M' belongs to. The most direct and common system for representing characters with 8 - bit binary like this for basic Latin characters (including 'M') is ASCII. Binary code is a general term for representing data with 0s and 1s, but ASCII is a specific character encoding system that uses binary. So the correct answer is B.

Answer:

B. ASCII
