Bit

A <b>bit</b> (binary digit) is the most basic unit of <b>digital information</b>, representing a logical state with one of two possible values: 0 or 1. The term was coined by statistician John Tukey in 1946 and popularized by Claude Shannon in his foundational work on information theory. Eight bits form one <b>byte</b>, the standard unit of computer storage.
