what is the highest value that can be represented by a nibble
sixteen
title: Nibble text: notation in which the digit at the left of a number is the most significant. In such illustrations the four bits on the left end of the byte form the high nibble, and the remaining four bits form the low nibble. For example, ninety-seven = 97 = (0110 0001) the high nibble is 0110 (6), and the low nibble is 0001 (1). The total value is high-nibble × 16 + low-nibble (6×16+1=97). In the C programming language: where codice_1 must be a variable or constant of an integral data type, and only the least-significant byte of codice_1 is used. For title: Nibble text: Nibble In computing, a nibble (occasionally nybble or nyble to match the spelling of byte) is a four-bit aggregation, or half an octet. It is also known as half-byte or tetrade. In a networking or telecommunication context, the nibble is often called a semi-octet, quadbit, or quartet. A nibble has sixteen (2) possible values. A nibble can be represented by a single hexadecimal digit and called a hex digit. A full byte (octet) is represented by two hexadecimal digits; therefore, it is common to display a byte of information as two nibbles. Sometimes the set of all 256 byte values title: Nibble text: example, codice_3 and codice_4. In Common Lisp: Nibble In computing, a nibble (occasionally nybble or nyble to match the spelling of byte) is a four-bit aggregation, or half an octet. It is also known as half-byte or tetrade.

Sometimes title: Integer (computer science) text: "false" and "true" respectively. This type can be stored in memory using a single bit, but is often given a full byte for convenience of addressing and speed of access. A four-bit quantity is known as a "nibble" (when eating, being smaller than a "bite") or "nybble" (being a pun on the form of the word "byte"). One nibble corresponds to one digit in hexadecimal and holds one digit or a sign code in binary-coded decimal. The term "byte" initially meant 'the smallest addressable unit of memory'. In the past, 5-, 6-, 7-, 8-, and 9-bit bytes have all been title: Nibble text: necessarily 8, hence the distinction of "bytes" and "octets" or of "nibbles" and "quartets" (or "quadbits"). Today, the terms 'byte' and 'nibble' almost always refer to 8-bit and 4-bit collections respectively and are very rarely used to express any other sizes. The sixteen nibbles and their equivalents in other numeral systems: The terms "low nibble" and "high nibble" are used to denote the nibbles containing, respectively, the less significant bits and the more significant bits within a byte. In graphical representations of bits within a byte, the leftmost bit could represent the most significant bit (MSB), corresponding to ordinary decimal
