What is Character (char)
A Character (char) is a data type used in programming to store a single character such as a letter, number, or symbol. In computer memory, each character is typically represented by 8 bits.
What is Bit (b)
A Bit (b) is the smallest unit of data in a computer and can have a value of either 0 or 1. Bits are used to represent and store digital data in binary form.
Conversion Formulas
By default:
- 1 (char) = 8 (b)
- 1 (b) = 0.125 (char)
Other conversions:
- 14 (char) = 112 (b)
- 14 (b) = 1.75 (char)
- 6 (char) = 48 (b)
- 6 (b) = 0.75 (char)
- 7 (char) = 56 (b)
- 7 (b) = 0.875 (char)
Examples
- Convert 10 characters to bits:
10 char×8 b/char=80 b
- Convert 20 bits to characters:
20 b×0.125 char/b=2.5 char
- Convert 5 characters to bits using the alternate conversion:
5 char×40 b/char=200 b
Remember, when converting data storage units, 1KB is equal to 1000 bytes.
