什么是位（计算）？

A bit is the smallest data storage and unit of measurement in computing. A bit can hold only one of the two data 0 or 1. The bit is used also to specify the size of the RAM, GPU, CPU architecture, HDD size, variable sizes in programming, etc.

bit是计算中最小的数据存储和度量单位。 一个位只能保存两个数据0或1之一。该位还用于指定RAM的大小，GPU，CPU架构，HDD大小，编程中的可变大小等。

位存储二进制数据 (Bit Stores Binary Data)

A bit is the simples storage unit for data. Binary data can be stored in a bit where binary values consist of 0 and 1. It may seem so simple which is not useful but it works. Every data in a traditional computer system is stored in bits with 0’s and 1’s.

位是用于数据的简单存储单元。 二进制数据可以存储在二进制值由0和1组成的位中。它看起来很简单，虽然没有用，但可以工作。 传统计算机系统中的每个数据都以0和1的位存储。

位可能会存储是非 (Bit May Store True and False)

The stored values of the bit may have different meanings like True and False. As true and false are part of the logical values they can express as with 0 and 1.  Generally, 0 is used to express False and 1 is used to express True.

该位的存储值可能具有不同的含义，例如True和False 。 由于true和false是它们可以用0和1表示的逻辑值的一部分。通常，0用于表示False，1用于表示True。

8位等于1个字节 (8 Bit is Equal To 1 Byte)

As the bit is the smallest storage measurement unit there are other measurement limits bigger than a bit. 8 bit is equal 1 byte which is also a popular measurement unit in computing. There are also the following equations about a bit.

由于钻头是最小的存储测量单位，因此还有其他测量极限。 8位等于1个字节，这也是计算中常用的度量单位。 还有一些以下方程式。

1 Nible = 4 Bit

1 Byte = 8 Bit

1 KiloByte = 8192 Bit

1 MegaByte = 8.388.608 Bit

B或b或字节或位 (B or b or Byte or Bit)

While using the bit as measurement units it can be expressed with some short-form like b in Mbps. But it can be confused with the Byte which is expressed as B. lower b is used express bit uppercase B is used to express Byte.

当使用该位作为测量单位时，它可以用一些简短的形式表示，例如Mbps中的b 。 但是它可以与表示为B的Byte混淆。 低位b用于表示位，大写B用于表示字节。

Mbps = Megabit per second

MBps = Megabyte per second

Gbps = Gigabit per second

GBps = Gigabyte per second
