WHAT IS IT ?
A byte is the basic unit of information in computer storage and processing. One byte consists of eight bits, where each bit can have a value of either 0 or 1. A byte can represent 256 different values (from 0 to 255), allowing for the encoding of various types of data such as letters, numbers, and symbols. In computer technology, storage and memory sizes are often expressed in multiples of bytes, such as kilobytes (KB), megabytes (MB), gigabytes (GB), and terabytes (TB). The byte is a fundamental unit in the digital world, enabling the storage, transfer, and processing of information.
