Most babies are born vaginally, but you and your doctor might decide that a cesarean section would be best for you and your baby. Some planned cesarean sections are scheduled in advance. Or, your doctor might ask you to wait until you have signs of labor before coming to the hospital.
A bit of information is either a yes or a no ... on or off ... 0 or 1. You really canât compute or demonstrate. much with just one bit of information. So letâs look at the next biggest grouping of information. A Nibble is made of 4 bits. Letâs figure out how many pieces of information you could show with a. Nibble.
No matter how many bytes wide a word is, there are always an even number of nibbles because each byte has two of them. Therefore, a word of n bytes can contain up to (2n)â1 decimal digits, which is always an odd number of digits. A decimal number with d digits requires Â½(d+1) bytes of storage space. For example, a 4-byte (32-bit) word can hold seven decimal digits plus a sign, and can represent values ranging from Â±9,999,999.
