Answer:
Storage units of a computer are places where read-only memory (ROM) or stored memory are kept in parts of 1 and 0 (bits) and these are the only language alphabets for computers.
Explanation:
Everything in a computer is stored as 1s and 0s. A single 1 or a single 0 in a computer is called a 'bit'. If we store a character in a computer it takes eight 1s and 0s, so we might say it takes eight bits to store a character.
Imagine you had to write a 1000 word essay. If we assume that each word has an average of five letters, we can do a rough calculation to work out how many bits it would take to store the essay.
If each letter takes eight bits to store and we have five letters in a word then each word would take forty bits to store.
If we have 1000 words then we would need to multiply 1000 by 40 which gives us 40,000 bits. We would also have to store the spaces between words (a space uses the ASCII code 32). This will of course, add more bits to this number.
The number of bits (1s and 0s) that we store in a computer adds up very quickly. Remember too that pictures and videos are stored as 1s and 0s and these take many, many bits to store. If you had a video on your computer you might look at the size of it and see that it was made up of 1,258,291,200 bits. Clearly this is a large number and so thankfully we can convert this to other units that make it easier to work with.
As already stated above, a single 1 or a single 0 in a computer is called a bit. The next unit up is called a byte and a byte is 8 bits together.
Give 5 star and Brainliest if it is good.
