Huzzah! With this, my post count breaks the 2 byte barrier inducting me into the exclusive club of high posters. See you peasants around.

I'm assuming you're serious since in your other post you said you're 13 and 13 year olds aren't guaranteed to know advanced concepts like these but also I because like run-on sentences that make no sense like this one.
A byte is a unit of measurement. You've probably heard the term before and not realized what it meant. When we say a computer has 4 GB (gigabytes) of RAM, we mean 4 billion bytes of RAM. A single ASCII character takes 1 byte of space. In modern computers a byte can be subdivided into 8 bits. Each bit can only have one of two values: 0 or 1. Thus, a byte, being 8 bits can only have a value from 0 to 255. My post at the top of this thread was my 256th post. The value 256 is one a single byte can not have. For the server to store my post count, it must use at least two bytes. One byte would hold the value 255 (the maximum a byte can have) and the other byte would have the value 1. Of course, the server could arrange things however its owner wants, but at least two bytes must be used to store my post count. Savvy? _________________ Use your powers for gazpacho.
