trit /tɹɪt/ noun1 •The ternary equivalent of a bit; a fundamental unit of information that may take any of three distinct states.For example, consider storing trits (recall Section 2.6.4), which take values in {0, 1, 2}. If we use 2 bits per value, then an array A[1, n] of trits requires 2n bits. — 2016 formstrits
