Bit,Byte and Character

Bit

• A bit (short for binary digit) is the smallest unit of data the computer can proces.
• A bit i represent by number 1 and 0.

Byte

• Byte is a unit of information built from bit.
• Bits and bytes are the basis for representing all meanigful information and programs on computer.

Character

• One byte represent a single character such as the number,letter,or simbol.
• Computer does not undertand letter or number or picture or symbol.

           

                                          1 Byte = 8 Bits = 1 Character

• The Unicode coding schemes is designed to solve this problem.
• It use two bytes(16 bits) to represent one character

                                                      Unicode

                            2 Bytes = 16 Bits = 1 Character
