Word (16-bit)

A word in computing è un'unità di data uguale a 16 bits (2 bytes) in many historical e embedded architectures. The term machine word refers to the natural unit of data processed by a CPU in a single operation, e the 16-bit word era standard in early personal computers come those using the Intel 8086 processor. In modern contexts, word size varies by architecture (32-bit o 64-bit), but 16 bits remains a common convention in data storage unit conversion. 


Bit

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