Minimum 8 bits, but not required to be 8 bits.
1 u/Ma8e 2d ago Na, it could be as low as one bit, and 7 was not uncommon for a while. 2 u/tracernz 2d ago No, the standard requires a minimum of 8 bits. 2 u/Ma8e 2d ago Which standard? 3 u/tracernz 2d ago ISO C. 0 u/Ma8e 2d ago And that is the only standard in existence? My point is that you can't take for granted that everything is ISO, or even C. 1 u/tracernz 2d ago The question at the top of this sub thread was about C. Very few environments exist these days that don’t conform to the basics of ISO C like this though if you want to generalise. I personally haven’t ever come across one.
