What are some of the differences between the Baudot digital code and ASCII?
Baudot uses 4 data bits per character, ASCII uses 7 or 8; Baudot uses 1 character as a letters/figures shift code, ASCII has no letters/figures code
Baudot uses 5 data bits per character, ASCII uses 7 or 8; Baudot uses 2 characters as letters/figures shift codes, ASCII has no letters/figures shift code✓Ճիշտ պատասխան

Բացատրություն
Baudot uses 5 data bits per character, which allows only 32 combinations — far too few for letters, figures and punctuation — so two of those combinations serve as letters-shift and figures-shift characters that switch the meaning of the rest. ASCII uses 7 data bits, 8 in extended forms, which gives enough combinations that no shift character is needed.
