An employee in a small company needs to save a text file that contains their weekly schedule. If this text file is made up of exactly 1024 characters, how much space does it consume in the most likely scenario assuming each character is one?
In the context of data storage, a Byte typically represents a single character. Since there are 1024 characters and the scenario implies that each character is one Byte, the text file consumes 1024 Bytes. It is important to note that 1 KB (Kilobyte) is often considered equivalent to 1024 Bytes due to the binary nature of computing, though in other contexts it may be rounded to a simple 1000.
