Storage
- bit is 0 or 1, stands for “binary digit”
- byte is 8 bits, written for example like 1001 0101
- B - abbreviation for byte
- b - abbreviation for bit
- KB - kilobyte, 1000 bytes
- MB - megabyte, 1 million bytes
- GB - gigabyte, 1 billion bytes
- TB - terabyte, 1 trillion bytes
Base systems
- Able to convert between decimal, binary, hexadecimal, octal
- 15 = 1111 binary = F hex
