4 Σεπ 2019 · Wikipedia claims that the bit stands for Binary digIT, which would mean that either that's a bacronym (since I assume 8 bits/byte wass chosen for a reason other than an analogy to currency). Is this just a weird coincidence?
Current software uses encodings based on 8 (UTF-8), 16 (UTF-16) or 32 (UTF-32) bit code units, combining multiple code units to form a single code point where necessary, but those bits sizes are a consequence of the hardware, not of the character set.
3 Μαρ 2021 · When we combine eight bits together, we form a byte. A byte is a human concept, not one which a computer can understand at it cores. Very early computer developers decided to create bytes out of 8 bits. Let's see how many combinations we can create using eight bits, set to a state of 0 or 1: 0000 0000 = 0. 0000 0001 = 1.
In a chip: electric charge = 0/1. In a hard drive: spots of North/South magnetism = 0/1. A bit is too small to be much use. Group 8 bits together to make 1 byte. Everything in a computer is 0's and 1's. The bit stores just a 0 or 1: it's the smallest building block of storage.
Bytes and bits are the starting point of the computer world. Find out about the Base-2 system, 8-bit bytes, the ASCII character set, byte prefixes and binary math.
4 Απρ 2024 · A bit is the smallest unit of data in computing. It’s like a tiny light switch that can be either off (0) or on (1). A byte, on the other hand, is a group of bits that work together to...
19 Μαΐ 2018 · String eight BITs together and you get a "binary octet", otherwise known as a BYTE. A BYTE is roughly equivalent to one letter or character. The computer thinks in this binary system, and uses it for numbers, letters and other values. Humans think in a numbering system called decimal.
