a class b mask is 255.255.0.0 and means the 1st 2 octets of the address identify the subnet
a class c mask is 255.255.255.0 and means the 1st 3 octets of the address identify the subnet

Subnet masking is generally used to group addresses together. A class c subnet would suport 254 individual devices, while a class B would increase that by a factor of another 256 times the 254

class be subnet mask would specify two 8 bit network address and two 8bit host address.
Class C would specify 3 8 bit network address and only One 8bit host address.

255.255.0.0 vs. 255.255.255.0
The 255 numbers are used to identify the network and the 0's are use to identify the hosts on the network.
Hope this helps
