A byte consists of _________.
A byte consists of _________.
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is C Eight bits
A byte consists of Eight bits.
The byte is a unit of digital information that most
commonly consists of eight bits, representing a binary number. Historically,
the byte was the number of bits used to encode a single character of text in a
computer and for this reason it is the smallest addressable unit of memory in
many computer architectures.
Yes, a byte is always 8 bits in modern computing.
In the book, the word and the size of the word is explicitly mentioned, while
there is not a word (haha) about bytes. Look at the phrase ..is represented in
RAM by 32 consecutive 16-bit words. . ... Words are quite important when it
comes to processor architecture.
