A string consisting of two ASCII numbers can definitely be held in a single byte, making it far better for storage in an EEPROM.That's a little confusing.
In C, as string is a null-terminated character array - only an empty string could be held in a single byte.
The ASCII digit '1' has the value 49 (0x31), and would therefor fill a byte.
In the context of the thread, you can store "12" in a single byte by making it 12, whih is clearly able to be crammed into a byte.
Pardon the late reply. I am catching up on unread replies.
