A byte offset, typically used to index into a string or file, is a zero-based number of bytes. For example, in the string "this is a test", the byte offset of "this" is 0, of "is" is 5,
"a" is 8, and "test" is 10.
Note that this is not always the same as the "character offset". Some characters, such as Chinese ideograms, require two or more bytes to represent. Using ASCII characters only will ensure that the byte offset is always equal to the character offset.

How do you define a byte?
A byte is a unit of memory consisting of eight binary digits or bits
How do you store the data into byte in c?
There is not built-in 'byte' type in C, but you can define it: typedef unsigned char byte; byte bmin=0, bmax=255;
How can you determine the byte offset of a field within a structure?
For C++ you can do this:#define member_offset(Struct, Field) (&(reinterpret_cast(0)->member))because the byte offset is usually the structure address + offset, so by setting the address to 0, you get 0 + offset == offset.AnswerYou should the "offsetof" macro. This is a standard macro that has been a part of the C standard for 20 years now (it's part of C89 and C99), so all C and C++ compilers should support it.#include size_t offsetof(type, member);For example:struct s { int x, y; };offsetof(struct s, y);
How many bits are it byte?
One BYTE is always 8 BITs. (Binary digITs) Some data protocols use a different number of bits to define a character, most systems today use 8 bits, some older systems used 5 bits or 7 bits. But a BYTE is always 8 bits regardless. (a NIBBLE is half a byte - 4 bits).
Binary digits combine to create one byte?

What is difference between a 'byte' and a 'byte'?
I believe you meant difference between a bit and a byte. A byte is 8 bits.
How many nibbles are in a byte?
There are two nibbles in a byte.
Which is greater byte or bit?
Byte, since there are 8 bits in every byte
How big is a pectrol byte?
1024 amos byte = 1 pectrol byte
How bits are in a byte?
Eight bits are in one byte
Can some one define clearly the computer terms bit and byte?
A bit is the smallest amount of information that a computer can store; all bits are in the form of either a 1 or a 0, which in mechanical terms is equivalent to on or off. A byte is a collection of 8 bits which together can be used to define an alphanumerical term, which is a letter or a number. Bits are only used to construct bytes. The bytes are then used to contruct all other programs and data storage.
What is the highest byte?
Yotto Byte
