What else can I help you with?
Each 0 or 1 is a byte?
Each 0 or 1 is a bit (bit being short for "binary digit") a byte is 8 of these (byte being short for "binary eight")
Eight bits or one character of data are?
Eight bits are 1 byte. The word 'byte' was coined from the word "by eight" - 1 bit multiplied by 8.
What is a byte and a bit?
AnswerA byte is made up of eight bits. A bit is a single state, usually represented by a 0 or a 1. Using binary code, eight bits can be used to represent characters numbers and other items. A bit is a single numeric value, either '1' or '0', that encodes a single unit of digital information. A byte is a sequence of bits; usually eight bits equal one byte.
What is a bit in a byte?
Since 8 bits make a bite then a bit is one-eight of a bite.
What is eight digit binary number called either a byte or a bit?
8 bits make up 1 byte
What is bit size?
A bit size is one. It can be either a 0 or 1. Eight bits together is called a byte. Four bits (half of a byte) is called a nibble.
The use of a parity bit means that every byte occupies how many bits?
Eight
What is a bit and how many are in a byte?
A bit (contraction of binary digit) is the basic unit of information in computing and telecommunications; it is the amount of information stored by a digital device or other physical system that exists in one of two possible distinct states. Old Standard bit b 0 or 1 byte B 8 bits IEC Standard bit bit 0 or 1 byte B 8 bits
Is there anything less than bit?
Not in computing. A bit is a single entity. A nibble is four bits. A byte is eight bits.
A byte is made up of eight what?
1 bit = a 1 or 0 (b) 4 bits = 1 nybble (?) 8 bits = 1 byte (B)
Is one bit equal to 8 bytes?
8 bits are equal to 1 byte
How many words are there in a 64 bit variable if a word is defined as 2 bytes?
Assuming a byte is 8 bits, then a 2 byte word is 16 bits. Therefore there are maximum of four 2 byte words in a 64-bit variable. Note that a byte is defined as being the smallest unit of addressable storage. As such there is no official standard that dictates its length; it is entirely hardware dependent. Some systems can address at the bit level, thus a byte would literally be just 1 bit in length. Although most systems today use an 8-bit byte, this is not always the case thus the term octet was defined to specifically mean an 8-bit byte.
