  Words
Key understanding: When a computer processes data, the length of data accessed, processed and transmitted at one time is called a word. A word is usually made up of one or more bytes (usually integer bits of a byte).
                  The word length of a computer determines the actual number of bits processed by its CPU in one operation, which shows that the larger the word length of the computer, the better its performance.
bytes
Byte comes from the English Byte and is customarily represented by a capital "B". A byte is the basic unit of data processing in a computer. In computers, information is stored and interpreted in bytes, and it is stipulated that a byte is composed of eight binary bits, that is, 1 byte is equal to 8 bits (1Byte=8bit). The minimum number of eight digits is 00000000, and the maximum is 11111111; Usually 1 byte can be stored in an ASCII code, and 2 bytes can store a Chinese character national standard code.
