Bit, Byte and Word basic unit of memory is the bit (Binary digIT) one bit is too small to be generally useful, so bits are grouped together: nibble: 4 bits (cf. a hex digit) byte: 8 bits (e.g. …
Figure 29-2 shows the byte order of each of the fundamental data types when referenced as operands in memory. The low byte (bits 0 through 7) of each data type occupies the lowest …
bits is called a nibble. 8 bit. is called a byte. 16/32/64 bits is called a word. The number depends upon the number of bits that ca. simultaneously be operated upon by the processor. Since we …
