public enum MemoryUnit extends Enum<MemoryUnit>
A collection of useful methods to deal with memory units.
The byte is a unit of digital information that most commonly consists of eight bits. Historically, the byte was the number of bits used to encode a single character of text in a computer and for this reason it is the smallest addressable unit of memory in many computer architectures. The international standard IEC 80000-13 codified this common meaning. The popularity of major commercial computing architectures has aided in the ubiquitous acceptance of the 8-bit size.
