bytes are used to represent the amount of capacity in a memory
Four bytes represent 32 bits. 32 bits represent 4,294,967,296 possibilities.
The bytes representing keyboard characters are normally used to index some sort of array (or small database) to decode the information.
The combination of bits used to represent a particular letter number or character. e.g.: data bytes,
Bytes are units of digital information that are commonly used to measure the size of files or the amount of data stored in a computer. One byte is equal to 8 bits, and it is often used to represent a single character of text. Bytes are a fundamental building block for storing and processing data in computers.
Primarily bytes.
4 bytes are enough to represent any integer in a range of approximately -2 billion, to +2 billion.
In the UTF 8 standard of representing text, which is the most commonly used has a varying amount of bytes to represent characters. The Latin alphabet and numbers as well as commonly used characters such as (but not limited to) <, >, -, /, \, $ , !, %, @, &, ^, (, ), and *. Characters after that, however, such as accented characters and different language scripts are usually represented as 2 bytes. The most a character can use is 4, I think (Can someone verify? I can't seem to find the answer).
digital
The sizeof() operator returns the number of bytes required to represent its argument.
3 billion bytes or 24 billion bits.
Used for what???The hexadecimal system is just a way to represent information. Each byte requires two hexadecimal digits. Modern computers have billions of bytes in RAM, and often a trillion or more bytes on the hard disk, so that would be billions or trillions of hexadecimal digits. Some examples of things that are often represented as hex digits: * An IPv6 address has 16 bytes - so, 32 hex digits. * A MAC address has 6 bytes (12 hex digits). * A register has a few bytes. The size varies, but is often 2-8 bytes.
