What are bits, bytes, and other units of measure for digital information?
The bit is a basic unit of information in computing and digital communications. A "bit" is the smallest unit of storage in measuring digital information. A bit stores only 0 or 1. In a computer, everything is stored in bits.
8 bits together make a byte. Similarly, 1024 bytes make a kilobyte (KB). Here are the further units of measurements for digital information.
| 1 byte | 8 bits |
| 1 kilobyte (KB) | 1,024 bytes |
| 1 megabyte (MB) | 1,024 KB |
| 1 gigabyte (GB) | 1,024 MB |
| 1 terabyte (TB) | 1,024 GB |
| 1 petabyte (PB) | 1,024 TB |
Other units include exabyte (EB), zettabyte (ZB), yottabyte (YB), etc.
Posts before October 2021 have been marked as "Old Posts". Less likely, but they might have out dated or incorrect information, ugly looking bits of code, no labels, etc. Don't get me wrong, many of these posts are top-notch and interesting too.
I thought it would be better not to delete or revamp these posts, even if they suck. The bitter truth is that old works always suck, but I take that as a positive tool to convey that I am growing. Besides there's no better way to showcase my journey without these old, messy, poorly written posts!
