Everything that is stored on a computer is stored as binary code. Binary code is made of bits (0 or 1). We often use Bytes to store data. A Byte is made of eight bits and can be used to store any whole number between 0 to 255. Check it yourself, click on the binary digits to create your own binary number:128 | 64 | 32 | 16 | 8 | 4 | 2 | 1 |
1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
128 + 64 + 32 + 16 + 8 + 4 + 2 + 1 = 255
