In hindsight, however, there were many questions I didn't even think to ask -- namely, about the C-section recovery timeline. Don't make my mistake: Arm yourself with all the data you'll need for a healthy post-op period with our primer on caesarean section recovery.
1 A byte is an ordered set of 8 bits having given values 2 A byte can have any one of 256 values, depending on the values (e.g., 0 or 1) of each of its 8 bits. o Examples of different values of a byte are: Ã¼ 00000000 (binary number for 0) Ã¼ 00000001 (binary number for 1)
Bits and Bytes. Each binary digit is called a bit. Use the table above to see how many bits it takes to represent 3,897. Go ahead, we'll wait. That's right, twelve bits. The right-most bit (the one bit) is the least significant bit and the left-most bit (the two-thousand forty-eight bit) is the most significant bit. Since it is easy to lose your place when reading a long string of 0's and 1's, binary numbers are often displayed in 4-bit groups, like this: 1111 0011 1001. Two of these 4-bit groups (eight bits altogether) make a byte, which is the basic unit for measuring the size of a digital memory or storage device. What can you store in one byte? Think about how many different numbers can be encoded with one byte. (It may help to make an analogy with decimal numbers first: how many different numbers can you encode with 2 digits? how many with 3 digits?)
