A kilobit is a unit of information, abbreviated kbit (or kb).
The standard definition is 1 kilobit = 10^3 bit = 1000 bit. In the context
of storage-memory and address-space sizes, the alternative binary definition
of 2^10 = 1,024 bit is occasionally used (see Binary prefix), although this
usage is ambiguous.
Kilobits are commonly used to express digital communication speeds, e.g. a 56 kbit/s PSTN or 512 kbit/s broadband Internet connection. In the context of telecommunication transmission speeds, the decimal definition 1 kilobit = 1,000 bit is used uniformly.
The kilobit is closely related to the kibibit, which is unambiguously equal to 210 = 1,024 bit.
Kilobit (abbreviated to kb with a lower case b) is sometimes confused with the term kilobyte (abbreviated to kB or KB with an upper case B).

To Do:
Add Xb(bits) to XB(bytes) into conversion system...
Integrate integer conversion. For example short and long integer
declarations in C. Make a seperate form for character and string
size calculator. Move WORD from current form since it doesn't
relate to general OS file measurements.
