Byte String
Byte String
An ordered sequence of bytes, beginning with the most significant (leftmost) byte and ending with the least significant (rightmost) byte. Any bit string whose bit length is a multiple of eight can be viewed as the concatenation of an ordered sequence of bytes (i.e., a byte string). For example, the bit string 0110010101000011 can be viewed as a byte string since it is the concatenation of two bytes: 01100101 followed by 01000011.
