What is Character (char)

A Character, often abbreviated as "char," is a basic unit of data that represents a single symbol, letter, digit, or control character in computing. Each character typically consumes 1 byte of storage in a system. For example, the letter 'A', the digit '1', and special characters like '@' are all individual characters. Characters are fundamental to string data types used in programming and data processing.

What is Word (word)

A Word, in the context of data storage, represents a larger unit of data than a character. Specifically, one word is equal to 2 bytes. Unlike software terms like Microsoft Word, in data management, the word unit plays a critical role in determining the capacity of data structures and memory allocation in computing systems.
