What is a Byte?
A byte is equivalent to 8 bits, also called an octet.
Computer media, including memory and disk drives, generally report their size in terms of bytes, such as 256 MB of RAM or a 120 GB hard drive.
A byte, historically, is a computer architecture term that refers to a memory storage of a single character.
