How about a Nibble etc.
No. Even if you have an array of Booleans, I believe they're specified to take up one byte each.
Of course you can define your own data types which have fewer than 256 valid values (like Boolean
does) but you can't make it take up less than a byte in memory.
As LBushkin pointed out, there are types such as BitArray
and BitVector32
which effectively pack multiple bits efficiently - you could write your own NybbleArray
type if you wanted.
There's no native data-type smaller than byte, however if you want to store and manipulate a group of packed bits, you can use BitVector32 or BitArray.
No, byte is the smallest.
