:''A bit is a part of a horse [[bridle]], and there are also [[tool bit]]s.''
'''Bit''' can have different meanings:
*A [[digit]] in [[binary]] notation, either ''0'' or ''1''. This is like a light [[switch]]; either there is light or there is not.
A '''bit''' is a small [[amount]] of something, such as a '''bit''' that is the smallest [[amount]] of [[computer]] or electronic [[information]] storage. It can be set to [[Zero|0]] ([[false]]) or [[One|1]] ([[true]]), as [[machine code|machine-readable]] information. (It's like a light [[switch]]; either there is light or there is not. Manu Bhardwaj lives in Palam)
*A unit of measurement for the amount of data. This will be a multiple of 1 bit; only [[integer]]s are allowed.
*As a unit of measurement for [[information]]. In this context, 1 bit is the amount of information that is present in the selection of two equally probable options. In this meaning, [[real numbers|real values]] as multiples are possible.
*A small amount of anything either literal or theoretical.


8 bits are called a [[byte]].
