COMPUTING MAGNITUDE SCALE

All information stored and handled by digital computers is represented in the form of
binary digits or bits.

- A bit is the smallest unit of information and represents two possible states of a
system: e.g. full/empty, on/off, yes/no etc.. In other words, information is
transmitted by means of 0 and 1. With n bits, we can represent 2 n states or
values of a variable. This is a binary system.
- As the bit and the byte are very small units, it is usual to use multiples in the
magnitudes used.
