COMP-3 REQUIRES LESS STORAGE SPACE.
BECAUSE COMP-3 IS PACKED DECIMAL.
packed decimal is a method used in computing to store more in less space.
characters are stored in binary in their ascii representation.
ex: 1 = ascii(49)decimal
we can store two numbers(only numbers) in the same space.
example:
ascii 49=number 4 and 9
