Weather ASCII is 7 bit code or 8-bit code?

It is said that it is 8 bit code. But in the ASCII table of all alphabets numerals and symbols it is 7 bit code. So What will be answer of this question and why?

It is actually 8-bit code, 1 bit is for parity so if not considered the parity then 7-bit code.
