A bit is one binary unit - either a one or a zero.
A byte contains 8 bits. (so for example a byte would look like "10011011")
Half a byte (or 4 bits) is called a nibble, no kidding!

What are milabytes?
There is no such thing as a milabyte. There's a byte & then smaller is a bit
The term bit is the combination of what two words?
The term "bit" is short for one data packet. A "byte" is 8 data "bits".
How many bits are in a byte?
In the most common definition, there are 8 bits in one byte. One bit is either a flow of electricity or no electricity. This written as 0 or 1. There are four bits in a nibble and two nibbles in a byte. 8 bits = 1 byte. 1024 bytes = 1KB 1024 KB = 1 MB 1024 MB = 1 GB
Why is a start bit used in asynchronous communication?
Asynchronous (serial) communication means that all the necessary decoding information is carried in the data stream, with no need for any external timing reference. The start bit is needed to tell the receiver that the next so-many bits are data. Likewise, the stop bit tells the receiver that the byte or packet has ended, and it can check to see if it received the correct number of data bits between the start and stop bits. Think of it this way, if you transmitted 0 asychronously without a start bit, how would the client know a byte had been sent? There would be no state change on the line.
What is the relationship between state and law?
Distinguish between a public law relationship and a private law relationship.
What is difference between a 'byte' and a 'byte'?
I believe you meant difference between a bit and a byte. A byte is 8 bits.
What is the difference between character and bit?
character is an 8bit word also known as 1 byte. where as bit is referred to single bit among those 8 bit in a 1 byte (or character).
Is a bit a byte?
8 bits are a byte
What is the difference between a bit and a bite?
it takes about 225 bits for one byte.
Are bits in a byte?
if u bit a dik it past if u byte a dik its present tense.
Which is greater byte or bit?
Byte, since there are 8 bits in every byte
Relation between bit per second and byte per second?
The relationship between bits per second and bytes per second is based on the relationship between bits and bytes, which is that there are 8 bits to a byte. Another thing to consider is that bits are represented by a lower case "b" and bytes are represented by an uppercase "B". An example would be: 8 bps = 1 Bps or 64 bps = 8 Bps
How can you arrange bit byte word nibble in ascending order?
bit, nibble, byte, word
How many bit are in a byte?
There are 8 bits in 1 byte.
How much is a bit in terms of byte?
There are 8 bits in a byte.
Who invented the byte and or bit?
byte was coined by werner buchholz
How do you make vb in 32 byte run in 64 byte OS?
You mean 32-bit and 64-bit, not 32 byte and 64 byte. A byte is an aggregate of (usually) 8 bits. 32-bit programs will execute in a 64-bit environment without any modification. 64-bit programs can also execute in a 32-bit environment, but this requires emulation through a 64-bit virtual machine.
