A byte is group of 8 bits.

128 64 32 16 8 4 2 1

1 1 1 1 1 1 1 = 255

Which in binary can represent a number up to 255.

Larger numbers are represented by grouping bytes together.

The central processor can handle complete bytes at time, each number represents a command.

What does possible loss of precision means?

When Java (or another programming language) warns you that there is a possible loss of precision, they mean that you are trying to treat one type of number as a different type.For instance, if you try to store an int value in a byte variable:int i = 10;byte b = i;The int can store more information, so forcing it into a byte may cause a loss of that extra information.In order to work around this, you need to cast the variable to tell the programming language that you really want to convert from one type to the other.int i = 10;byte b = (byte) i;

Difference between bit addressable and byte addressable in micro controller?

Hey ! in bit addressable , one can reach the bits (PORT 1.0,PORT1.1,PORT1.2,..etc..) of the ports in the programming while byte addressable only allows the bytes(PORT 1) to be addressed. therefore,there is difference in programming instructions too.
