What is half a byte?
Half a byte is 4 bits, which is actually known in the computer world as a nibble.
What is half a computer bite called?
Computer 'bites' don't exist! Its Bytes, and a you do not get half a Byte. So there is no name.
What is the highest byte?
Yotto Byte
What Requires one byte of storage?
8 digits of binary code (either 0s or 1s) for instance 00101001 each digit takes up one bit, there are 8 bits in a byte. Usually, a byte holds 1 character, either a letter or #
Is byte input or output?
A 'byte' is a unit of storage - not an input or output.
What is half a byte?
Half a byte is 4 bits, which is actually known in the computer world as a nibble.
What is known as nibble?
A nibble is a half of a byte, 4 bits.
How many nibbles are there in a byte?
2 nibbles are in one byte
What is a nibble (referring to the computer term)?
A nibble is half a bit octet (commonly known as a byte). A nibble, therefore, is a set of four binary digits. The numeric value of a nibble is commonly presented in binary form, or in form of a single hexadecimal digit.
What do you call an amount of data equal to 8 bits?
8 Bits is one Byte. Half of a byte (4 bits) is a nibble.
Is kilobyte the smallest byte?
No. There is also a byte and a nibble byte (half a byte). Kilo is a prefix meaning "thousand", so a kilobyte is a thousand bytes. More exact would be 1024 bytes.
What would you call a string of 16 bits?
16 bits is a byte, for the record half a byte is called a "nibble". I kid you not...
What is the difference between packed bcd and unpacked bcd?
BCD:A byte (unpacked) representation of a decimal digit in the range0 through9. Unpacked decimal numbers are stored as unsigned byte quantities. Onedigit is stored in each byte. The magnitude of the number is determined fromthe low-order half-byte; hexadecimal values 0-9 are valid and areinterpreted as decimal numbers. The high-order half-byte must be zero formultiplication and division; it may contain any value for addition andsubtraction.Packed BCD:A byte (packed) representation of two decimal digits, each in the range0 through 9. One digit is stored in each half-byte. The digit in thehigh-order half-byte is the most significant. Values 0-9 are valid in eachhalf-byte. The range of a packed decimal byte is 0-99.
Bits and bytes according to size?
8 Bits = 1 Byte Also, 4 Bits = 1 Nibble = Half Byte
What do 4 bits make?
Since 8 bits make 1 byte hence according to me 4 bits make half byte.
Many nibbles are in a byte?
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 the relationship between a byte and a bit?
A bit is one binary unit - either a one or a zero. A byte contains 8 bits. (so for example a byte would look like "10011011") Half a byte (or 4 bits) is called a nibble, no kidding!
