Q. Show the Comparison of ASCII and EBCDIC?
EBCDIC is an easier to employ code on punched cards due to BCD compatibility. But ASCII has some of major benefits on EBCDIC. These are: While writing a code as EDCDIC isn't adjacent on alphabets, data comparison to continuous character blocks isn't easy. E.g. if you want to ensure whether a character is an uppercase alphabet you need to examine it in range A to Z for ASCII as they are contiguous while since they aren't contiguous range in EDCDIC these might have to be compared in ranges A to I, J to R, and S to Z which are contiguous blocks in EDCDIC.
A number of the characters like [] \{}^~| are missing in EBCDIC. Additionally missing control characters can cause a number of incompatibility problems.
