A computer 'nibble' consists of four bits, allowing for 16 different character representations. Each bit can be either 0 or 1, leading to a calculation of 2^4 for the total number of combinations. Therefore, a nibble can represent 16 unique characters.

1. A computer "nibble" consists of four "bits," each bit being either a 0 or a 1. If characters are
represented using a code that uses a nibble for each character, how many different characters can
be represented?
Solution
Since we have 4 places to be filled by either zero or one.
So the number of characters representable by a nibble would be = 2*2*2*2 = 2^4 = 16 characters
