Smallest Unit of Computer Memory

        The smallest unit of computer memory is a "bit," which is short for binary digit. A bit can have one of two values: 0 or 1, representing the fundamental building blocks of digital information in computers. Multiple bits are combined to represent more complex data, such as characters, numbers, and instructions, in various data structures and formats like bytes (8 bits), words (usually 16 or 32 bits), and larger data types.
