byte

Noun

byte (bytes)

1. A sequence of adjacent bits, almost always eight, operated on as a unit by a computer; can represent an integer from 0 to 255, a pair of hexadecimal digits each from 0 to F, a pair of packed decimal digits each from 0 to 9, a packed decimal digit and a sign or a single character

• Definitions:
• Eight bits; also called an octet.
• A byte is a series of 8 bits. Also called a character. Computer storage space is measured in bytes. A kilobyte (or 1 KB) represents 1024 bytes. A megabyte (1 MB) represents 1024 KB. A gigabyte represents 1024 MB.
• Eight bits.
• A computer storage unit containing 8 bits. Each byte can store one text character.
• A series of 8 bits.
• A string of eight bits.
• In most computer systems, a byte is a unit of data that is eight binary digits long. A byte is the unit most computers use to represent a character such as a letter, number, or typographic symbol (for example, "g", "5", or "?").
• A group of 8 bits; the basic unit of information
• An 8-bit computer word. Known as an "octet" in many European languages and especially in the context of characters being sent over a communications channel.
• a sequence of eight bits.
• Binary term, a unit of storage capable of holding a single character. On almost all modern computers, a byte is equal to 8 bits. Large amounts of memory are indicated in terms of kilobytes (1,024 bytes), megabytes (1,048,576 bytes), and gigabytes (1,073,741,824 bytes).
• A unit of digital information consisting of eight bits.
• Technically equal to 8 bits, one Byte of data is the standard unit of measure on the Internet. As data is transferred to the cable modem via broadband technology, some of the data is lost in what is known as "Overhead". ...
• The amount of memory space used to store one character, which is usually 8 bits.
• the basic unit of computer storage, comprising eight bits. Typically, a byte can store one character of text, or one pixel. In InfoChannel, the unit used to express the size of files.
• The smallest addressable unit of digital storage larger than a bit and smaller than a word. A byte now consists of eight bits.
• A series of 8 bits, which represent a single character.
• A binary string consisting of 8 bits.
• A small unit of memory. A byte is composed of eight bits. One bit can store two different combinations (0 or 1); two bits can store four different combinations (00, 01, 10, 11); three bits can store eight different combinations (000, 001, 010, 011, 100, 101, 110, 111); following this pattern ...
• 8 bits is equal to 1 byte or 1B for short. Note the difference between the symbols for bits and bytes - b and B.
• a group of bits. The number of bits in a byte depends on the processing system being used. Typical byte sizes are 8, 16, and 32.
• A group of eight bits. (MIDI bytes consist of ten bits because each byte includes a start bit and a stop bit, with eight bits in the middle to convey information.)
• the fundamental data unit for personal computers, comprising 8 contiguous bits.
• A binary clement string functioning as a unit. Eight-bit bytes are most common. Also called a "character".
• The basic unit of computer memory. Comprised of eight bits, they are large enough to hold one character of alphanumeric data.
• a sequence of 8 bits (enough to represent one character of alphanumeric data) processed as a single unit of information
• In computer science a byte is a unit of measurement of information storage, now usually considered to contain eight bits. In many computer architectures it is a unit of memory addressing.
• The Byte is a cat rigged dinghy sailboat. It is produced by PS2000 in North America, and was previously produced by Topper Sailboats in the UK. However, Topper have ceased production of GRP boats to concentrate on its rotomolded plastic designs, leaving the class in search of a new builder. ...
• Byte magazine was an influential microcomputer magazine in the late 1970s and throughout the 1980s, because of its wide-ranging editorial coverage. ...
