How many bits combination is present in a Byte ?
Explanation
In computer science and digital electronics, a byte is a unit of digital information that most commonly consists of 8 bits. A bit (binary digit) is the most basic unit of data, representing a logical state with one of two possible values, typically 0 or 1.
- One byte = 8 bits.
- A nibble consists of 4 bits.
- With 8 bits, there are 28 = 256 possible permutations or combinations of zeros and ones, which allows for the representation of characters in the ASCII standard.
Since the options provided are 2, 4, 8, and 16, the question is asking for the standard number of bits that constitute a single byte, which is 8.
