A byte is the smallest unit of storage used in modern computers. It is made of 8 bits and can be arranged in 256 possible combinations. These possible combinations are used to represent a base set of values, the specifics of which depend on the operating system being used. Most modern operating systems conform to ASCII standards and thus share the same representative values for the first 128 possible combinations.
In the example below, Little Endian binary strings are used.
One byte can be represented with these possible combinations:
Binary to Hex to Decimal to ASCII Conversion Table
