Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A signed byte can represent values from -128 to 127. Therefore, the lowest possible value for a signed byte is -128. Option B is incorrect because a byte can only have 8 bits, which means the maximum value it can represent is 2^8-1 (255). Option C is incorrect because a signed byte can represent negative values as well. Option D is incorrect because -127 is closer to the maximum possible value of 127, which means it is not the lowest value.
