Definition and details for byte (B):
Byte is a unit of digital information in computing and telecommunications. It is an ordered collection of bits, in which each bit can be 1 or 0. Byte is the basic addressable element in many computer architectures because it is used to encode a character of text in a computer. The size of a byte is typically hardware dependent, but the modern standard is 8 bits, as this is a convenient power of 2.
