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.

Answer / vaibhav meena
it is 2^8
means 2 ^ no of bits
means 256....

Answer / azza
There are 256 combinations as 00000000 is classed a one
combination. plus the other 255 combinations. Answer 8 is
wrong.Answer 2 is correct.

Answer / santosh shah
256 combinations.Byte contains the 8 Bits and bit contains
either the value 0 or 1.i.e.(2 raise to power 8 minus
1).The maximum number of value represented with a byte is 8
bits is 255 but 0 should also be considered as well as 1,
2, 3, ..., 255. So there are total
256 combinations.

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.

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)

Answer / k.kishorebabu
=2^8-1
=256-1
=255
bco'z only 8 bit data can be loaded that depends on the
address lines we take
