A bit is typically the smallest unit of memory in an electronic device. As it is based on a binary system, it can contain only one of two possible values: 1 or 0, which generally relate to that...
That depends on the floating point format used: IEEE --> 23 bits DEC VAX --> 23 bits IBM System/360 --> 24 bits (6 hex digits) HP-3000 --> 22 bits MIL-STD-1750A --> 23 bits Rockwell...
There are 8 bits in a byte.
People use a lowercase 'b' to mean "bits" and an uppercase "B" to mean bytes. So if a hard drive has 500GB, that's giga-bytes. But if a network cable lists its speed as...
