Ok, so if I wanted to store bits, then I would have to combine them into bunches of 8 bits which would make 1 byte that could be stored. But then how would I read that byte and be able to take from it the individual value of each bit? Maybe this is a stupid question, but I only half understand how the whole bit-byte system works so please excuse my ignorance.
