How many bit combinations are there in a byte?..

Answer / abdullah javid

There'll actually be 256 combinations. The maximum value
that can be represented with a byte (8 - bits) is 255 but as
far as combinations are concerned 0 should also be
considered as well as 1, 2, 3, ..., 255. So there are total
256 combinations.

How many bit combinations are there in a byte?..

Answer / arjun

This has to be the easiest technical question for any
programmer...

A Byte is made of 8 Bits, so the number of combination for
Byte would be 2^8.

However, if asked the maximum number represented then it
would be (2^8)-1.

Surely, if you can't answer this you should seriously think
about changing your profession.

How many bit combinations are there in a byte?..

Answer / panaitsdv

if number of bite values is n, and length of the byte is k.
that means n = 2, k = 8.
for n even => n^k
(2^8 = 256)
for n odd => n^k - 1
(2^7 - 1 = 128-1 = 127)
