Is the size of C "int" 2 bytes or 4 bytes? - Stack Overflow
The size of an int is really compiler dependent. Back in the day, when processors were 16 bit, an int was 2 bytes. Nowadays, it's most often 4 bytes on a 32-bit as well as 64-bit systems. Still, using sizeof(int) is the best way to get the size of an integer for …
byte - How many bits is a "word"? - Stack Overflow
Jan 21, 2015 · Here’s the quick tour: A bit is a single binary digit, 0 or 1. A byte is 8 bits side by side. A word is 2 bytes side by side. A double word is 2 words side by side. A quad word is 2 double words side by side. And this is from the book Principles of Computer Organization and Assembly Language: Using the Java Virtual Machine, Patrick Juola:
math - How to get from 1 byte to 2 bytes - Software Engineering …
answered Jun 30, 2013 at 18:38. AProgrammer. 10.5k 1 31 47. So if I undestand you corectly, I can't make math operations directly on bytes, I need to convert bytes to bits at first, and then perform an operation, in that case 2 bytes = 2 * 1 byte = 2 * 8 bit = 16 bit = 2 ^ 16.
How do I split an integer into 2 byte binary? - Stack Overflow
Nov 15, 2009 · I want to split the integer "width" into two bytes and load data[0] with the high byte and data[1] with the low byte. That is binary value of 400 = 1 1001 0000 so data[0] should contain 0000 0001 and data[1] should contain 1001 0000
Python 2,3 Convert Integer to "bytes" Cleanly - Stack Overflow
In Python 2 str(n) already produces bytes; the encode will do a double conversion as this string is implicitly converted to Unicode and back again to bytes. It's unnecessary work, but it's harmless and is completely compatible with Python 3.
how to interpret a two-byte value? - Stack Overflow
Jan 4, 2018 · 1. What you're referring to is the "endianness" of the two-byte value (also called a WORD). It's generally not considered beneficial to discuss them in terms of decimal values because no, if the bytes are 10 and 85 in decimal, the values would not be any combination of 10/85. Rather, showing them in the hexadecimal values is far more prudent.
c# - How do I concatenate 2 bytes? - Stack Overflow
Dec 20, 2009 · A more explicit solution (also one that might be easier to understand and extend to byte to int i.e.): using System.Runtime.InteropServices; [StructLayout(LayoutKind.Explicit)] struct Byte2Short { [FieldOffset(0)] public byte lowerByte; [FieldOffset(1)] public byte higherByte; [FieldOffset(0)] public short Short; }
binary - Why does a byte only have 0 to 255? - Stack Overflow
Feb 13, 2011 · A byte has only 8 bits. A bit is a binary digit. So a byte can hold 2 (binary) ^ 8 numbers ranging from 0 to 2^8-1 = 255. It's the same as asking why a 3 digit decimal number can represent values 0 through 999, which is answered in the same manner (10^3 - 1). Originally bytes weren't always 8 bits though.
javascript - How many characters 2 bytes can hold? - Stack Overflow
Nov 5, 2014 · It depends on the format of the string. 1 byte per character in ASCII and 2 bytes per character in Unicode. so 2 byte can hold only single Unicode character or 2 ASCII character. The following code will explain my answer. MsgBox(System.Text.ASCIIEncoding.Unicode.GetByteCount("h")) '<--- displays 2.
What is the difference between a string and a byte string?
364. Assuming Python 3 (in Python 2, this difference is a little less well-defined) - a string is a sequence of characters, ie unicode codepoints; these are an abstract concept, and can't be directly stored on disk. A byte string is a sequence of, unsurprisingly, bytes - …
