byte
Bit (b) and Byte (B) is entirely different. Bit is the smallest storage unit in computer science. 8 Bit (8b) = 1 Byte (1B) In normal working, when you press any key, it covers atleast 1 Byte of space. Means if you will type ABC, it will cover 3B, so that we consider byte as a smallest unit of useful data.
eight primitive data types are: -boolean -char -byte -short -int -long -double -float
There is not built-in 'byte' type in C, but you can define it: typedef unsigned char byte; byte bmin=0, bmax=255;
In byte stuffing (or character stuffing), a special byte is added to the data section of the frame when there is a character with the same pattern as the flag. The data section is stuffed with an extra byte. This byte is usually called the escape character (ESC), which has a predefined bit pattern. Whenever the receiver encounters the ESC character, it removes it from the data section and treats the next character as data, not a delimiting flag.
One byte of RAM can hold up to one byte of data. This is equivalent to one 8-bit (ASCII) character, such as a keyboard letter, number, or symbol.
byte
Either by packet/frame number or by byte number. Page 182 of Data Communications and Networks 6th edition.
There's no such thing as a 'microbyte'. A byte is a data word made of 8 bits. That means it can be split up into 2 or 4 pieces, and nothing else. (A 'bit' is the smallest possible unit of information ... the 'atom' of data ... and it can't be split up at all. Either it's there or else it isn't.)
Typically, a byte, but it depends on the host's underlying hardware.
8 Bits is one Byte. Half of a byte (4 bits) is a nibble.
Theoretically, the smallest amount of data a binary computer can hold is one bit (an eighth of a byte. it can only hold two states: 1 or 0.)
