This is a submission for DEV Computer Science Challenge v24.06.12: One Byte Explainer.
Explainer
Byte is the fundamental unit of information in a computer, similar to a single bead on a bracelet. Eight of these ‘beads’ (called bits) come together to represent a letter, number, images, videos, and even games to create all the fun.
And we get, 1 Byte = 8 Bits.
Additional Context
- Explained Byte as a tiny building block using a relatable analogy (bead on bracelet).
- Shortened things up to fit within the 256 character challenge (gotta keep it fun!). It is 254 characters to be exact (without the markdown).
- Explained bytes as tiny building blocks that make all the cool computer stuff work.
