Each byte represents a number. What that number means, will depend on where abouts it is, in a memory location or program.
For example.
In the graphics area of memory, the number will determine what color the pixel should be for that location. There will be a byte for every pixel.
A pair of bytes will represent where the computer should look in the memory to retreive another number.
A single byte will represent a command, when executed by the CPU. A program is operated on, one byte at a time in sequence, unless the operation code (another byte) tells it to jump to another part of the program or stop.
A CPU has a look up table, where each number (represented by a byte) will have an operation. This operation could be, to just add 1 to the number in the present registry.
yes because each byte represents one letter.
The unit of storage that represents one 8 bits is called a byte. A byte is commonly used as the basic unit of data in computing and digital communications, with each byte able to represent 256 different values (0 to 255).
A single byte represents 8 bits.
MSB represents Most Significant Bit.
The byte 00001000 represents the decimal number 8. In binary, each bit represents a power of 2, starting from the rightmost bit, which is 2^0. In this case, the byte has a '1' in the 2^3 position (8), and '0's in all other positions, resulting in the total value of 8.
A byte is a group of 8 bits of computer data. A bit represents either a 0 or a 1.
If the byte represents a signed number, values commonly go from minus 128 to plus 127. If the byte represents an unsigned number, values commonly go from 0 to 255.
No it represents 8
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")
The true answer is yes and no Yes: in binary coded decimal and hexadecimal each byte is 4 bits long; in octal each byte is three bits long. No: in true binary theoretically there is no "last bit".
1 MB (megabyte) is a unit of data measurement that equals 1,024 kilobytes or 1,048,576 bytes. It is not a bit; rather, it is a larger unit that represents a collection of bytes, with each byte consisting of 8 bits. Therefore, 1 MB is equivalent to 8,388,608 bits.
In a byte MSB is the bit that represents value 2^7, LSB is the bit that represents value 2^0.
