Bits vary in size not in numbers — This article talks about the bitstrings and binaries representation. Let’s dive. In Elixir we use <<0>> for binary(8 bits) reprsentation. However, we can tell how many bits of information we need with size(num) i.e <<5::size(3)>> for 3 bits instead of size(8) which is the default. To be more simple, we…
