byte and Byte

[Jedhi]

What's the difference between byte and Byte ?

 

[wildfire1982]

One of them has a capital B at the beginning. Byte is normally used in capital like MegaByte MB and Megabit Mb. Does that answer the question or did you mean something different?

A bite is one bite of information like a letter or number.
A Byte is 8 bits

 

[Kurt]

A letter or a number can't be represented by a bit! 1 bit is either 0 or 1. A byte is a sequence of 8 bits. In older programming languages, a character is represented by a byte that contains the ascii code for that character. In .NET however, characters are represented by their unicode value.... And a number like an int (Int32) is stored in memory in 4 bytes....

I think Jedhi is talking about the byte and Byte in C# and VB.NET respectively.

Byte represents 1 byte of memory = 8 bits (this type is present in VB.NET)

byte is the same but this type is used in C#

Hope this helps,
