Bit Numbering
**Bit numbering** refers to the convention used to identify individual bits within a binary number or data structure. In most systems, bits are numbered starting from the rightmost position, with the least significant bit assigned the number 0 and subsequent bits numbered sequentially from right to left. This convention follows the positional notation of binary numbers, where each bit represents a power of 2 based on its position from the rightmost (or least significant) bit. For example, in an 8-bit binary number, the rightmost bit is the 0th bit, followed by the 1st bit, 2nd bit, and so on until the leftmost bit, which is the 7th bit. This bit numbering scheme is fundamental in computer science, digital electronics, and programming, facilitating bitwise operations, data manipulation, and memory addressing. Understanding bit numbering is essential for effectively working with binary data and low-level programming tasks.
