A byte is a unit of measurement used in computing to represent information and data.
It consists of 8 bits, which are the fundamental blocks of information in a binary system. Each bit can have two possible values: 0 or 1.
The byte is used to store and transmit data in digital format and is the basic unit used to measure the storage capacity of devices such as hard drives, USB drives, and memory cards.
A byte can represent a text character, a number, or any other type of information in a computational system.
