Re: A83: Re: I am new
A 8 bit number (because the number itself uses 8 binary digits, aka bits)
can be 0-255 (00000000b - 11111111b)
a 16 bit number (16 bits) can be 0-65535 ...
the registers (a,b,c,d,e,h,l) can hold 8 bit numbers
if you use them as double registers however (by combining two 8 bits into:
bc,de,hl), then it can hold a 16 bit number
