If you want to be technical... A byte is contiguous sequence of a fixed number of binary digits. The exact size depends on the system in question (generally the smallest addressable word size). Even in C, where a byte is 8 bits, what those bits mean is arbitrary. It might represent integer values from 0 to 255, or it might be values from -128 to 127. Or it might just be a set of 8 boolean values.
