8 bits = 1 byte.
thats an awful answer! HERE IS ANOTHER ANSWER; HOPE THIS IS WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR! If you mean ASCII characters then 8 bits can store one ASCII character (may also depend on processor, prog language, etc), for example, the decimal value for A is 65 in ASCII which equates to 01000001 in binary where each 0 or 1 is represented by a single bit
why the letter A would take up one byte storage space
it is a byte.
The official unit of data is the byte. A byte is made of 8 bits and is the amount of computer storage space needed to store one character of information.
they are amounts of unit describing computer storage
A 'byte' is a unit of storage - not an input or output.
bit
1 byte
One gigabyte (GB) is 1,024 megabytes (MB) or 10,48,576 kilobytes (KB). In honesty, that's very low storage for a computer. However on most portable devices it is an average amount of storage space.
No, 1 byte is equal to 1 character
The letter "a" takes up one byte of storage space because it is represented using the ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) encoding system, which assigns a unique integer value to each character. In ASCII, the letter "a" corresponds to the decimal value 97, which fits within a single byte (8 bits). This allows for 256 possible values in a byte, accommodating all standard ASCII characters, including letters, digits, and punctuation. Therefore, storing the letter "a" requires just one byte.
a byte is abasic storage unit in memory. when application program instructions and data are transferd to memory from storage devices. byte addressable memory refers to memory address that is accessed one byte (8 bits) at a time as opposed to 2 byte(16 bits), 4 byte(32 bits) or 8 byte(64 bits) addressable memory.
A byte (character) is the basic storage unit in memory.
