what is digit permissible of octet
Answers
Explanation:
An octet is 8 bits (oct prefix means 8).
So, you have 2^8 = 256 possible bit patterns, or a decimal range of 0.. 255

The international standard IEC 60027-2, chapter 3.8.2, states that a byte is an octet of bits. However, the unit byte has historically been platform-dependent and has represented various storage sizes in the history of computing. Due to the influence of several major computer architectures and product lines, the byte became overwhelmingly associated with eight bits. This meaning of byte is codified in such standards as ISO/IEC 80000-13. While byte and octet are often used synonymously, those working with certain legacy systems are careful to avoid ambiguity.
