I have updated the task description to be consistent with character code 127 being a control character. See also: http://www.lammertbies.nl/comm/info/ascii-characters.html or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASCII#ASCII_control_characters --[[User:Rdm|Rdm]] 15:33, 6 June 2011 (UTC) |

== Incorrect statement about ASCII == |
|||
The statement |
|||
<blockquote>In ASCII, the control codes have decimal codes 0 through to 31 and 127 and the extended characters have decimal codes greater than 127.</blockquote> |
|||
is incorrect because ASCII is only 7-bit (it only defines characters up to 127), so cannot have characters with "decimal codes greater than 127". --[[Special:Contributions/76.21.41.59|76.21.41.59]] 09:53, 25 August 2011 (UTC) |
