    Bits are the basic unit of digital information that can have a value of 0 or 1. They are used to represent numeric, text, audio, video, and image data through patterns of 0s and 1s. The document discusses the basics of bits and how they are used to represent information, defines units like bytes for measuring digital storage, shows the patterns produced by different numbers of bits, and provides an example of converting a decimal number to binary.

    Bits

    Dr. M. Tanvir Afzal


    Bits

    Basics:

     Information is coded as pattern of 0 or 1


     Short form of Binary Digits
     One bit can contain only one value 0 or 1

    2 Dr. M. Tanvir Afzal


    Bits

    What they can represent:


     Representing numbers, text, audio, video,
    image etc
     In Chip electric Charge 0/1

     3 bits - 8
     4 bits - 16
     5 bits - 32
     6 bits - 64
     7 bits - 128
     8 bits - 256 - one byte
    5 Dr. M. Tanvir Afzal
    Bytes and Characters

     A = 65
