It's spelled "nibble." Here is the definition as it is in terms of amount of information that a computer can send. You can have 1 bit (which is a 1 or a 0), 4 bits make a nibble, 8 bits make a byte, 1024 bytes make a kilobyte and so on.

Was the person who made computer terms hungry?

No. A "bit" is an abbreviation of binary digit. The term "byte" was coined in 1956 by Werner Buchholz to refer to a bit grouping (typically 8 bits). The deliberate mis-spelling was simply to avoid any accidental mutation of bite to bit.

One nibble, or nybble, is equal to four bits.

2. A 'byte' as you probably know is 8 bits (8 individual digits) and some geeks thought it would be appropriate to call half a byte a nybble (4 bits).


What is procedure given in class to convert binary to hex?

Split the binary value into groups of 4 bits (half-a-byte). Translate each nybble to its corresponding hex digit. Use the following table to translate each nybble: 0000 = 0x0 0001 = 0x1 0010 = 0x2 0011 = 0x3 0100 = 0x4 0101 = 0x5 0110 = 0x6 0111 = 0x7 1000 = 0x8 1001 = 0x9 1010 = 0xA 1011 = 0xB 1100 = 0xC 1101 = 0xD 1110 = 0xE 1111 = 0xF
