In computer language what is Bytes.?

Answer 1

A byte is a measurement of data - either stored or transmitted. 1 byte = 8 bits (which can be 0 or 1), so a byte can identify 2^8 = 256 different 'things' or numbers. In representing numbers, one usually needs more than one byte, depending on the size of the number required. Two bytes can uniquely identify 256*256 = 65536 'things', four bytes, just over 4 thousand million.

A byte can be divided into two nybbles (note that it is spelt with a 'y'). This is mainly useful when speaking of data in hexadecimal numbers - 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,A,B,C,D,E and F - because each digit in hexadecimal represents 4 bits.

A kilobyte is roughly 1000 bytes - actually 1024 bytes - and a megabyte 1024*1024 bytes.

Answer 2

Bytes is used to describe a group of binary digits i.e. 0's and 1's. This binary digits is called as machine language, since our PC only understands 0's and 1's which is intreprted by our Operating system.

1 nibble = A arrangement for binary digits (0's and 1's)
8 bit = 2 nibble
1 Byte = 8 bit
1 KB = 1024 bytes
1 MB = 1024 KB (Kilo Byte)
1GB = 1024 MB(Mega Byte)
1TB(Tera Byte) = 1024 GB(Giga Byte)

In today computer era it is usually used to define the amount of primary memory (such as Ram, 128 MB, 256 MB, 1 GB etc), Secondary Memory(such as Hard Disk, CD, DVD , 40 GB, 800 MB etc)

Answer 3

The computer's native language is based on binary number system in which each no. is power of 2 (0 or 1). Each digit 0 or 1 is called a bit. And the collection of 4 bits (1s or 0s or both) is called a nibble. and 2 nibbles (8 bits)are called a byte.

Mathematically

4 bits= 1 nibble
8 bits= 2 nibble= 1 Byte
Likely to 1000 gm = 1 KG

Answer 4

1 nibble = A arrangement for binary digits (0's and 1's)
8 bit = 2 nibble
1 Byte = 8 bit
1 KB = 1024 bytes
1 MB = 1024 KB (Kilo Byte)
1GB = 1024 MB(Mega Byte)
1TB(Tera Byte) = 1024 GB(Giga Byte)

Answer 5

Byte is nothing but 0's & 1's which computer can understand. Its nothing but machine code.

Answer 6

byte is unit of memory of computer.
computer is a machine and it understands only electric states that is on/off. Each of this state is known as bit. and a combination of these on and off states represent a character. A combination of 8 bits represents one character and is known as one byte.

Answer 7

bytes is a computer unit i byte=8 bits bytes can be energy level also

Answer 8

computer is an electronic device.it accepts information in the form of 0 or 1. byte is also a unit of memory which cosists of 8bits.

Answer 9

Bytes is the unit of Memory.....

means whn we store any data in computer.........to know how much space that data has taken tof harddisk or other memory.... it is denoted in bytes....

1 byte = 8 bits(smaller unit)

bigger units are
KB(kilo bytes)
MB)megaBytes)
GB(Gigabytes)

Answer 10

Eight bits is equal to one byte
