In a computer science class, the teacher explains that all data inside a computer is stored as binary digits (0s and 1s). A student asks how the character 'A' that she types on the keyboard is stored in the computer's memory.
Question: Which of the following is most likely used to standardize the conversion of the character 'A' into a binary number?
Correct Answer: B — ASCII Code
Explanation:
The correct answer is ASCII Code. Key Points ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) is a character encoding standard used to represent text in computers, telecommunications, and other devices. Each character, including letters, numbers, and symbols, is assigned a unique numeric value that is stored as a binary number in memory. For example, the character 'A' is represented by the numeric value 65 in ASCII, which is stored in binary as 01000001.
