What is the difference between a bit, byte and a word?

Answer 1

bit 1 data example a. Byte 8 data, words 32

Answer 2

(1) BIT- a single binary digit either 0 or 1. As Bit word formed from Binary digIT i.e. B from binary and IT from digit i.e. it is contraction of binary digit.
(2) BYTE- a combination of 2 nibble or combination of 8bits. 1 nibble means combination of 4bits. For ex. 11110000 (base 2 i.e. binary) consists of 8 bits which is equal to 240 in decimal. In this ex, 1111 is higher order nibble while 0000 in lower order nibble.
(3) WORD- A combinations of binary digits which may be 8, 16, 32 or 64 depending on the microprocessor or microcontroller. Bec. Microprocessor or microcontroller data bus depends on the combination of digits which can be handled by it. so a word is that combination on which ALU (arithmetic logical unit) of the microprocessor can perform arithmetic and logical functions. While also it can read/write at this capacity to/from the peripherals i.e. the units which are interfaced with the microprocessor such as memory, input/output devices.

Answer 3

A Bit stands for "Binary Digit" a bit can hold only opne of two values 0 or 1. A byte is composed of eight consecutive bits.

Word you will have to look up, i wont complete your homework for you.

Answer 4

i bit is a device that can do say yes or no to your computer....8 of thoes make a byte....witch is one 100th of a KB....witch is 100th of a MB

a word is typicaly made up of 5 or 6 letters...each letter made up of 16 bits...so 2 bytes a letter...so 10-12 bytes per word...withch is about 1/10 of a KB

Answer 5

u can search it in wikipedia

Answer 6

BIT MEANS YOU ALREADY BIT..
LIKE..YESTERDAY I BIT MY LIP...WHICH MEANS BITE..BUT PAST TENSE..I BELIEVE..
SO YOU COULD SAY I HATE WHEN I BITE MY LIP..
