Well, you want to know all the different integers that can be expressed in a coding.

Binary coding should be easy. Each distinct combination of bits represents a different number. So, you've got 32 or 64 bits...how many distinct numbers can you come up with? In ASCII coding, each byte (8 bits) can represent 1 of 10 different digits. You've got 32 or 64 bits, which is 4 or 8 bytes...how many different numbers can you get?
