COMPUTER FUNDAMENTALS

Detailed explanation-1: -A bit is the smallest unit of computer information. It’s essentially a single binary data point; either yes or no, on or off, up or down. A byte on the other hand is a unit of memory that usually contains 8 bits. This is because historically, 8 bits are needed to encode a single character of text.

Detailed explanation-2: -So, bits and bytes are both units of data, but what is the actual difference between them? One byte is equivalent to eight bits. A bit is considered to be the smallest unit of data measurement. A bit can be either 0 or 1.

Detailed explanation-3: -Decimal units such as kilobyte (KB), megabyte (MB), and gigabyte (GB) are commonly used to express the size of data. Binary units of measurement include kibibyte (KiB), mebibyte (MiB), and gibibyte (GiB).

Detailed explanation-4: -Measuring memory is linked to theories of the processes and structures involved in memory, why something is remembered, and the goals of the study. Both the content and the structure of memory can be measured. Declarative memory is generally measured using recall and recognition measures.
