How many maximum codes can an 8-bit code system represent?

An 8-bit code system can represent a total of (2^n) distinct values, where (n) is the number of bits. In this case, since there are 8 bits, we calculate:

[

2^8 = 256

]

This means that an 8-bit code can represent 256 different combinations of 0s and 1s, ranging from 00000000 to 11111111 in binary, which corresponds to the decimal values from 0 to 255. Thus, the maximum number of codes that can be represented in an 8-bit code system is indeed 256.
