How many bytes is a ASCII composed of?

ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) is composed of 7 bits per character, which allows for 128 unique characters, including letters, digits, and control characters. However, it is commonly stored in an 8-bit byte, meaning each ASCII character typically occupies 1 byte of memory in most computer systems. Thus, while ASCII itself is 7 bits, it is generally represented as 1 byte in storage.

What is 1 byte?

It is a collection of eight bits which represent one character. Each bit can have the value of 0 or 1, zero or one. A byte has 256 possible combinations of 0's and 1's. In most programming languages and applications, these combinations are assigned values or functions. In ASCII, 00101010 (42 in decimal) is the * symbol. Number 189,(10111101 in ASCII) is ½ and 241 is ñ. There are other uses and definitions of a byte, including how many bits are in one.
