What is one advantage of using ASCII rather than Baudot code?
- AIt includes both upper and lower case text characters in the code
- BASCII includes built-in error correction
- CASCII characters contain fewer information bits
- DThe larger character set allows store-and-forward
Correct answer: A — It includes both upper and lower case text characters in the code. From the official ISED question bank, verified word for word.
Why
ASCII uses more bits per character than Baudot, which allows it to represent both upper and lower case letters, giving text much better readability. The full explanation — and one for every question — is in Pro.
