A question in lab 3 (all 5)

8:38am Wed 11th Sep, ANONYMOUS

Hi Arran, In lab 3.1 Binary Search-question b, you said the input domain consists of a set of all possible chars s (there are 256 of them). I am curious why there are 256 possible chars. Is it because each character is 8 bits long and thus has 256 possible characters? But I look it up in java doc(https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/lang/Character.html). It says Java characters now use Unicode Standard, and "The range of legal code points is now U+0000 to U+10FFFF". Does it mean there are 2^16 (or 65,536) possible chars now? Thank you for your help.
