\section{Vectors of Bits}\label{Sec:Vectors}
With If we have only one bit
at disposal, we cannot do
so much.
In general the computer deals \\
Usually, computers, have to work with sequences of bits, that are ``ordered
set'', set''.
These sequences, called {\em
vectors}, vectors} by Mathematicians, are commonly
defined {\em arrays} or {\em strings}
in by Computer
Science. Known vectors Scientists.
\\
Some of
bits are: nibbles that these strings are
(vectors particularly important for applications, so they have their own name. They are:
\begin{itemize}
\item \emph{nibbles}: vectors of $4$
bits); bytes bits;
\item \emph{bytes}: vectors of $8$ bits
and so on. \end{itemize}
In general we
call \emph{stream} a vector whose exact size is not known \emph{a
priori}. priori\\
We will usually visualize them as blocks of one-bit bricks:
