Discussion
ASCII and EBCDIC are the popular character coding systems. What does EBCDIC stand for ?
Answer: A
EBCDIC stands for Extended Binary Coded Decimal Interchange Code.
EBCDIC is an 8-bit character code developed by IBM for its mainframe computers. It extended the earlier 6-bit Binary Coded Decimal (BCD) code, which is where 'Binary Coded Decimal' in its name comes from. ASCII, used by most other computers, is the American Standard Code for Information Interchange.
The other expansions replace 'Binary Coded' with 'Bit Code' or 'Bit Case', which are not part of the name.
