Bytes is a memory description in computer terminology, a computer language is something totally different than terminology. A byte is 8 bits long, a bit is a space for an on or off setting - 0 or 1. A byte has 8 of these in a row - 10100101 or 11111111 or 00000001. A byte can be used to count in binary from 0 to 255 (00000000 to 11111111).
