There is not built-in 'byte' type in C, but you can define it: typedef unsigned char byte; byte bmin=0, bmax=255;


How many bits are it byte?

One BYTE is always 8 BITs. (Binary digITs) Some data protocols use a different number of bits to define a character, most systems today use 8 bits, some older systems used 5 bits or 7 bits. But a BYTE is always 8 bits regardless. (a NIBBLE is half a byte - 4 bits).

Define byte offset?

A byte offset, typically used to index into a string or file, is a zero-based number of bytes. For example, in the string "this is a test", the byte offset of "this" is 0, of "is" is 5,"a" is 8, and "test" is 10.Note that this is not always the same as the "character offset". Some characters, such as Chinese ideograms, require two or more bytes to represent. Using ASCII characters only will ensure that the byte offset is always equal to the character offset.

Define the concept of Java Bytecode and its importance?

1. The byte code is intermediate language. 2. It is not understandable by user as well as processor. 3. Tjava program(.java) will get converted to byte-code(.class) after compilation. 4. It is a set of highly optimized instructions. Advantages(impotance) of byte code: 1. It is useful for exchanging java program without disclosing the logic implemented in it to others. 2. The byte code are many times compressed version of actual Java program.Therefore,it is easy and fast to transport them over the internet. 3. Byte codes are not executable and they are platform independent.
