 SHORT TYPE ANSWER TYPE QUESTONS/CONCEPTULA QUESTIONS.
1. What are some number systems used by computers?
Ans: Common number systems include Binary (Base 2), Octal (Base 8), Decimal (Base 10), and
Hexadecimal (Base 16).
2. What is the use of Hexadecimal number system on computer?
Ans: It simplifies the representation of binary numbers, making it easier for humans to read and
debug machine-level data.
3. What does radix or base signify?
Ans: The radix or base of a number system indicates the number of unique digits (including zero)
used to represent numbers.
4. What is the use of encoding schemes?
Ans: Encoding schemes are used to represent characters, symbols, and control codes in a
standardized format for data storage and communication. Discuss UTF-8 encoding system.
5. Discuss UTF-8 encoding scheme.
Ans: UTF-8 is a variable-length encoding scheme that represents Unicode characters using one to
four bytes. It is backward-compatible with ASCII.
6. How is UTF-8 encoding scheme different from UTF-32 encoding scheme?
Ans: UTF-8 uses variable lengths (1-4 bytes) for encoding characters, while UTF-32 uses a fixed
length of 4 bytes for all characters, making UTF-8 more space-efficient.
7. What is the most significant bit and the least significant bit in a binary code?
Ans: The most significant bit (MSB) is the leftmost bit and represents the largest value, while the
least significant bit (LSB) is the rightmost bit, representing the smallest value.
8. What are ASCII and extended ASCII encoding scheme?
Ans: ASCII encodes 128 characters (7-bit), while extended ASCII uses 8 bits to encode 256
characters, including additional symbols and special characters.
9. What is the unity Of ISCII encoding scheme?
Ans: ISCII (Indian Script Code for Information Interchange) encodes Indian scripts for computing,
allowing support for multiple Indian languages.
10. What is Unicode? What is its significance?
Ans: Unicode is a universal character encoding standard designed to support all languages and
scripts, ensuring consistent text representation across systems.
11. What all encoding scheme does Unicode use to represent characters?
Ans: Unicode uses UTF-8, UTF-16, and UTF-32 to represent characters, allowing for flexibility in
storage and transmission.
12. What is ASCII and ISCII? Why are these used?
Ans: ASCII is a character encoding scheme for English characters, while ISCII is designed for
Indian scripts. Both are used to represent text in computing.
13. What are UTF-8 and UTF-32 encoding system? Which one is more popular encoding scheme?
Ans: UTF-8 is a variable-length encoding system, and UTF-32 is a fixed-length system. UTF-8 is
more popular due to its space efficiency and backward compatibility with ASCII.
14. What do you understand by code point?
Ans: A code point is a numerical value that maps to a specific character in an encoding standard
like Unicode.
15. What is the difference between fixed length and variable length encoding schemes?
Ans: Fixed-length encoding uses the same number of bits for each character (e.g., UTF-32), while
variable-length encoding uses different numbers of bits depending on the character (e.g., UTF-8).
