Re: What is Nibble in Computer Language?

computer language consists of only two numbers 0 and 1, which is known as binary language
In binary system, the smallest unit is bit.(i.e.,only 1 digit)
group of 4 bits is NIBBLE. e.g. 0001, 0101, 1010
and group of 8 bits is BYTE.

Re: What is Nibble in Computer Language?

A Nibble or Nybble is a four bit aggragation of half a octet. As a nibble

consists of 4 bits, they are 16 possible values. so the nibble correspondd

to the Hexadecimal digit or hex digit or hexit. A fully byte (octet) is

represented by two hexa decimal digit, therefore it is common to display a

byte of information as two nibbles.

Re: What is Nibble in Computer Language?

It is an one of the measurement of Memory

one nibble equal to 4bits
2 nibbles equal to 1 Byte

Re: What is Nibble in Computer Language?

  • It is a unit of computer storage or information
  • Nibble is half of a byte i.e four bits.
  • The term is sometimes spelled nybble.
  • You have two nibbles in a byte.
  • Nibbles are important in hexadecimal and BCD representations.
  • Terms like Bit,Nibble,Byte,Kilobyte,Megabyte,Gigabyte are very important in Binary arithemetatic.
  • Bit is just a single 1 or 0.
  • Nibble is combination of 4 bits.
  • Byte is combination of 8 bits.
  • Kilobyte is 1024 bytes.
  • After that coms Megabyte,Terabyte,Gigabyte,etc,
  • The basic two bits(1&0) reperesents the one of the two sates & they are on & off.

NIBBLE IN COMPUTING :-A nibble (often nybble or related to byte).
# Nibble is a four bits aggregation or half an octet.
#A nibble contain 4 bits there are 16 value possible.
#The nibble is used to decribed the amount of memory used to store a digit in packed decimal.
Example:-
0 hex =0 dec= 0 oct
1 hex =1 dec = 1 oct
2 hex = 2 dec =2 oct
3 hex = 3 dec = 3 oct
4 hex = 4 dec = 4 oct
same upto 16

Re: What is Nibble in Computer Language?

A nibble is also called nybble or even nyble to simulate the spelling of byte.A byte is a four-bit aggregation or half an octet. As a nibble contains 4 bits, there are sixteen possible values, so a nibble corresponds to a single hexadecimal digit which is often referred to as a "hex digit" or "hexit" in the computer language.

The nibble is used to describe the amount of memory used to store a digit of a number stored in packed decimal format within an IBM mainframe. This technique is used to make computations faster and debugging easier.
A nibble is four bits grouped together. A byte holds two nibbles-
1. Upper nibble-one being the first four bits
2. Lower nibble-the other being the second four bits

Given that a bit can store a zero or a one, a nibble can store any combination of four bits from 0000 to 1111 and a byte can store any combination of eight bits from 0000 0000 to 1111 1111.

Nibble in Computer Language

1 nibble = 4 bits

Nibble is the second most smallest unit for measuring the memory.
It is also called as an elementary unit .
Also
1 byte = 2 nibbles = 8 bits

1 KB = 1024 bytes

1 MB = 1024 KB

1 GB =1024 MB

thank you

Re: What is Nibble in Computer Language?

hi

nibble means 4 bits of computer memory

4 bits - 1 nibble, which in the sense 2 nibble makes 1 byte.

that is very usefull in computer.........

Re: What is Nibble in Computer Language?

hi,
nibble means 4bits =1 nibble

2 nibble= 1 byte

Hexadecimal number are formed using four bits groups called nibbles......

NIBBLE IN COMPUTER LANGUAGE



A nibble ( or nybble ) is nothing but 4 bits of the computer memory.

-> A bit is the most basic unit of information in a computer. It can be either "on" or "off".

-> The computer memory is measured in the form of byte's, in which 8 bits - 1 byte.

-> So in the same way 4 bits - 1 nibble, which in the sense 2 nibble makes 1 byte.

-> The 2 nibble's which make a byte can be divided as high order nibble and low order nibble respectively.

-> Hexadecimal numbers are formed using four-bit groups called nibbles.

-> Nibble can also be pronounced as nybble.
