So if i understand it right, since a byte = 8 bit in base 2 we have 2^8 = 256 possible values. In base 256 a bit would contain 256 possible values, that is what in base 2 would be contained in an entire byte. So that's why "each byte is a digit". Do you think it's correct?
yeah, something like that, you can also show this like that ``` bit can be 0 or 1, we can think about it as a base 2 number of length 1 byte is 8 bits, so it is basically base 2 number of length 8 single byte can have 2^8 possible values from 0 to 255 what else can also have 2^8 possible values from 0 to 255? numbers in base 256! ```
