- Bitsearch for term
- A bit is a Binary Digit. It is the means through which computer information is coded. In math, values are expressed using the numbers 0-9. In computer language, information is coded using only the numbers 0 and 1. A computer byte is a sequence of eight bits, like 01100100 or 11100010. A single byte then translates to a piece of information, like a letter or part of an image on a computer screen. For instance, the byte 00100000 is code for the letter "n."
