Bits and Bytes was the name of two Canadian educational television series produced by TVOntario that taught the basics of how to use a personal computer...

the next. If longer bytes were needed, 60 bits would, of course, no longer be ideal. With present applications, 1, 4, and 6 bits are the really important...

e.g. 8 bits ≙ 1 byte, 16 bits ≙ 2 bytes, 32 bits ≙ 4 bytes, 64 bits ≙ 8 bytes, 128 bits ≙ 16 bytes. The low-level access sequence to the bytes of such...

b/8 byte aligned address (ex. 64-bit aligned is 8 bytes aligned). A memory access is said to be aligned when the data being accessed is n bytes long and the...

addition to bit, are listed below. Byte denotes a group of bits used to encode a character, or the number of bits transmitted in parallel to and from input-output...

roughly to 8 bit/s.‹See Tfd› 1 byte = 8 bits However if stop bits, start bits, and parity bits need to be factored in, a higher number of bits per second...

bitstream (or bit stream), also known as binary sequence, is a sequence of bits. A bytestream is a sequence of bytes. Typically, each byte is an 8-bit quantity...

numbers of bits based on convention and computer hardware design, but today means 8 bits. A more accurate, but less commonly used name for 8 bits is octet...

data-transmission system. Common data rate units are multiples of bits per second (bit/s) and bytes per second (B/s). For example, the data rates of modern residential...

bytes (16-bits) of memory; sometimes the values to be stored actually need only one or two bits. Having a number of these tiny variables share a bit field...

number of contiguous bits. While a character is most commonly assumed to refer to 8 bits (one byte) today, other options like the 6-bit character code were...

LEB128. do { byte = low-order 7 bits of value; value >>= 7; if (value != 0) /* more bytes to come */ set high-order bit of byte; emit byte; } while (value...

characters, each stored as an 8-bit byte, making a data word of 1088 bits in total. A convenient block size would be 8 bits, although this is not required...

assign 3 bits to red, 3 bits to green and 2 bits to blue, as the human eye is less sensitive to blue light. This creates a so called 3-3-2 8-bit color image...

most significant bit first and least significant bit at first are indications on the ordering of the sequence of the bits in the bytes sent over a wire...

document and becomes a noncharacter Unicode code point if its bytes are swapped. Hence, the process accessing the text can examine these first few bytes to...

example on 32 bits: exchange two 16-bit halfwords exchange bytes by pairs (0xddccbbaa -> 0xccddaabb) ... swap bits by pairs swap bits (b31 b30 ... b1...

on either 6-bit or 9-bit bytes. Neither of these machines originally had direct machine support for random access to bytes; adjusting a byte pointer to...

More specifically, the source binary data is taken 6 bits at a time, then this group of 6 bits is mapped to one of 64 unique characters. As with all...

A parity bit, or check bit, is a bit added to a string of binary code. Parity bits are a simple form of error detecting code. Parity bits are generally...

commonly referred to as the "bits of entropy". A password with 42 bits of entropy would be as strong as a string of 42 bits chosen randomly, for example...

of 32-bit words in the header. The minimum value for this field is 5, which indicates a length of 5 × 32 bits = 160 bits = 20 bytes. As a 4-bit field...

32 bits (4 bytes), with a 23-bit mantissa, 1-bit sign, and an 8-bit exponent. Extended (12k) BASIC included a double-precision type with 64 bits. During...

sizes are often measured in (binary) IEC multiples of bytes, for example 1 KiB = 1024 bytes = 8192 bits. Confusion may arise in cases where (for historic...

digits and the bits of the octet value, are derived by reversing the order of the bits in the octet value and interpreting the resulting bit sequence...
