/bi:t/ (B) A component in the machine data hierarchy larger than a bit and usually smaller than a word; now nearly always eight bits and the smallest addressable unit of storage. A byte typically holds one character. A byte may be 9 bits on 36-bit computers.
This lesson has provided an overview of bytes; their size and makeup. A byte is 8 bits, or two nybbles. A bit is the smallest amount of data storage. Still, a bit isn't big enough to store even a single letter: A letter such as 'A' or 'x' contains one byte.
