Whats is a difference between byte and bit ?

Question

The only thing I know till now is 1 byte = 8 bits. But I dont understand from where and how this relation is comming.

Answer 1

Hey Arnab Brahma
Bit-->
> A "bit" is atomic: the smallest unit of storage
> A bit stores just a 0 or 1
> "In the computer it's all 0's and 1's" ... bits
> Group 8 bits together to make 1 byte
> Everything in a computer is 0's and 1's. The bit stores just a 0 or 1: > it's the smallest building block of storage.

Byte-->
>One byte = collection of 8 bits e.g. 0 1 0 1 1 0 1 0
>One byte can store one character, e.g. 'A' or 'x' or '#x27;

Hope you will understand this!!!
HAPPY CODING !!!
