A bit is a single digit in binary - the system that a computer uses to count. As humans we use a number system called Denary or Decimal. This means that each column of numbers represents a power of 10, moving from right to left.
For example:
When we write a number, (512 for example) what we are really saying is:
5 1 2
(5 multiplied by 100) + (1 multiplied by 10) + 2 = 512
It's commonly believed that we use 10 as the base for our number system because we learned to count on our fingers (+ thumbs). Most of the time we have 10 digits on both hands to count on.
Computers of course, don't have hands so they have to count a different way - using electrical switches that are either on or off (just like your finger might be up or down if you were counting on them).
So computers count using a number system that's based on the number 2 - because a simple switch can only have two states - on or off.
A bit is one of those simple switches. It can have one of only two possible values - 1 or 0.

A binit is a computing term for a bit or a binary digit.
The definition of parallel computing is the processing of data many bits at a time as opposed to serial computing which is the processing of data one bit at a time.
When one is referring to computing NaN is said to stand for "Not a Number". This means that the monitoring system is not receiving any numeric data. This is often considered to be an error message.
In quantum computing, a qubit can exist in multiple states simultaneously, known as superposition, while a regular bit in classical computing can only be in one state at a time. This allows qubits to perform complex calculations much faster than classical bits.
In computing, it means: Common Information Model(CIM).
RGB stands for Red, Green and Blue.
