Also known as B, u8, octet, eight-bit byte, 8-bit byte
The byte is a unit of digital information that most commonly consists of eight bits. Historically, the byte was the number of bits used to encode a single character of text in a computer and for this reason it is the smallest addressable unit of memory in many computer architectures. To disambiguate arbitrarily sized bytes from the common 8-bit definition, network protocol documents such as the Internet Protocol () refer to an 8-bit byte as an octet.
AI overview
A byte is a small unit of digital information made up of eight bits, and it's the standard size used to store a single text character in computers. Because of this, the byte is the smallest chunk of memory that most computer systems can directly access and work with.
