Define the following.
(a) Code space
(b) Code point.
Answer:
- Code space is the set of all the codes used by an encoding scheme to represent characters. It ranges from 0 to 2 n –1 code where n is the number of bits used by that scheme.
- Code point is the code for a single character . Any encoding scheme will have a total number of bits used to represent a single character in that particular encoding scheme.
