bytes

A byte is a basic unit of digital information used in computers. It typically consists of 8 bits, where each bit is a binary digit (0 or 1). Bytes are the building blocks for storing and processing data, such as characters in text, small images, or other digital content. For example, a single letter in a text file is usually stored in one byte. Larger files are measured in multiples of bytes, like kilobytes (KB), megabytes (MB), and gigabytes (GB), representing increasingly larger amounts of data.
