> you very frequently get non-integer numbers of bits per (character/unit/message/whatever) That'd be an average, and it's like when you have 2.58 people per household. Presumably most people do not keep about 6/10 of a person around. The point of a bit (in information theory) is that it is the smallest possible (read: not divisible) unit of information. |
