An extended ASCII byte (like all bytes) contains 8 bits, or binary digits.
ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) is composed of 7 bits per character, which allows for 128 unique characters, including letters, digits, and control characters. However, it is commonly stored in an 8-bit byte, meaning each ASCII character typically occupies 1 byte of memory in most computer systems. Thus, while ASCII itself is 7 bits, it is generally represented as 1 byte in storage.
Generally speaking, eight bits to a byte. There is no actual standard that defines how many bits are in a byte, but it has become something of a de facto standard.
In binary representation, both the letter 'a' and 'b' can be encoded using 8 bits (1 byte) in standard ASCII. The ASCII values for 'a' and 'b' are 97 and 98, respectively, which can be represented in binary as 01100001 and 01100010. Thus, each letter requires 8 bits for its representation.
1 byte = 8 bits
An octet is 8 bits, which forms a byte.
There are always eight bits in a byte
There is only 1 bit in a bit. If you are meaning how many bits are in a byte, there are 8 bits in one byte.
It is a collection of eight bits which represent one character. Each bit can have the value of 0 or 1, zero or one. A byte has 256 possible combinations of 0's and 1's. In most programming languages and applications, these combinations are assigned values or functions. In ASCII, 00101010 (42 in decimal) is the * symbol. Number 189,(10111101 in ASCII) is ½ and 241 is ñ. There are other uses and definitions of a byte, including how many bits are in one.
1 byte = 8 bits (4096 bytes) x (8 bits/byte) = 32768 bits
