The correct answer is Bit.
Key Points
- Bit
- A bit or binary digit is the smallest unit of measurement used to quantify computer data.
- It contains a single binary value of 0 or 1.
- A single bit can define a boolean value of True(1) or False(0).
- Generally, data transfer rates are measured in bits.
- Binary Number System
- It contains two unique digits 0s and 1s.
- It is also known as the Base 2 system.
- The binary numbers 0 and 1 are called a bit.
- The computer always calculates input in binary form.
- Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz developed the binary system
Additional Information
- Byte
- A byte is a unit of digital information that most commonly consists of eight bits.
- A byte is the number of bits used to encode a single character of text in the computer.
- Nibble
- A nibble is a four-bit aggregation or half an octet.
- it is also known as half-byte or tetrad.
- BCD
- In computing and electronic systems, binary-coded decimal is a class of binary encodings of decimal numbers where each digit is represented by a fixed number of bits.
- It is implemented in the instruction set of machines.
