A bit is a contraction of "Binary Digit". It represents a single datum, which may have a value of zero ("off") or one ("on").
A bit is the smallest amount of data in a computer.
A word in a computer is the native integer for that computer. In a 16 bit computer, a word is a 16 bit integer.
Werner Buchholz coined the term bit/byte in 1956 for IBM stream computer.

Flynn's Classification is in terms of Instruction and Data Stream but Feng's Classification is in terms of bit parallelismand word parallelism
A bit is the smallest piece of data that a computer (digital) can process. Several bits make up a byte. It started out as 4 bit and 8 bit processors. The earlest processers commercially available were 8 bit capable now there are 128 bit and possible in the near future. With each increase in bits also increased the instruction set that went with those processors. 8 Bits could up to 255 instructions in the operating set. The bit is to the byte as the letter is to a word.
what do you mean the bullet in computer terms
Yes.
The terms 32-bit and 64-bit describe the way that the computer's processor handles information. 64-bit systems can handle a larger amount of RAM than at 32-bit system can; thus the 64-bit operating system can run faster.
fat32, 32 bit, 64 bit
The terms 32-bit and 64-bit refer to the way a computer's processor (also called a CPU), handles information. The 64-bit version handles large amounts of random access memory (RAM) more effectively than a 32-bit system.
A computer word is NOT 4 bits.In computing terms the base unit is a "bit" which can be set to "0" or "1"Then a group of 4 bits is called a "nibble"2 nibbles or 8 bits is called a "bite"next comes a computer "word" which can be 16, 32 or 64 bits, depending on the width of the computer's registers.A parity bit is used as the simplest form of error detecting code, a parity bit, or check bit, is a bit ADDED to any string of binary code to ensure that the total number of 1-bits in the string is even or odd.
