The TRS-80 computer manufactured by Tandy / Radio Shack contains an 8-bit character set. [1] It is partially derived from ASCII , and shares the code points from 32 - 95 on the standard model. Code points 96 - 127 are supported on models that have been fitted with a lower-case upgrade.
try (FileReader fr = new FileReader (path); BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader (fr)) {// Normal execution path.} catch (IOException ioe) {// Deal with exception.} // Resources in the try statement are automatically closed afterwards. finally {// A finally clause can be included, and will run after the resources in the try statements are ...
The Go developers believe that the try-catch-finally idiom obfuscates control flow, [59] and introduced the exception-like panic / recover mechanism. [ 60 ] recover () differs from catch in that it can only be called from within a defer code block in a function, so the handler can only do clean-up and change the function's return values, and ...
When the data word is divided into 8-bit blocks, as in the example above, two 8-bit sums result and are combined into a 16-bit Fletcher checksum. Usually, the second sum will be multiplied by 256 and added to the simple checksum, effectively stacking the sums side-by-side in a 16-bit word with the simple checksum at the least significant end.
The majority of code pages in current use are supersets of ASCII, a 7-bit code representing 128 control codes and printable characters. In the distant past, 8-bit implementations of the ASCII code set the top bit to zero or used it as a parity bit in network data transmissions. When the top bit was made available for representing character data ...
Code page 437 (CCSID 437) is the character set of the original IBM PC (personal computer). [2] It is also known as CP437, OEM-US, OEM 437, [3] PC-8, [4] or DOS Latin US. [5] The set includes all printable ASCII characters as well as some accented letters (), Greek letters, icons, and line-drawing symbols.
HP Roman-8 is an 8-bit single byte character encoding that is mainly used on HP-UX [2] and many Hewlett-Packard [7] and PCL compatible printers. The name Roman-8 appeared in 1983, [1] but a precursor of the character set was already used by the HP 250 and HP 300 workstations since 1978/1979 as 8-bit Roman Extension. [12] [13] [14] [15]
Until the early 1990s, many programs and data transmission channels were character-oriented and treated some characters, e.g., ETX, as control characters.Others assumed a stream of seven-bit characters, with values between 0 and 127; for example, the ASCII standard used only seven bits per character, avoiding an 8-bit representation in order to save on data transmission costs.
