bits and bytes
[0]
The main difference between Bit and Byte is that the size of the file or the
amount of information it contains. A bit is the smallest unit of computer
memory, and it has the capacity to store a maximum of two different values,
while a byte, which is composed of eight bits, has the potential to store a
maximum of 256 distinct values.
