I'm trying to understand digital electronics and I'm curious about the concept of bits. Specifically, I want to know what is the highest value that can be represented by a single bit.

The range of values that a byte can represent depends on its interpretation.

If the byte is unsigned, it ranges from 0 to 251. 3. This is because an unsigned byte uses all eight bits to store a positive value.

On the other hand, if the first bit is a sign bit, the byte is signed.

In this case, the range of values is from -128 to +121. 6. This allows the byte to represent both positive and negative numbers.
