How do you know when to search for a 8,16,32 bit code? I need an explanation thanks

An 8bit Number has a maximum cap of FF(255)
A 16bit Number has a maximum cap of FFFF(65535)
A 32bit Number has a maximum cap of FFFFFFFF(4294967295)

Usually if a value does not excede one of the caps, it will be there.
For example, The maximum amount of coins i can get are 99, that value is most likely an 8bit number.
The maximum amount of HP i can have is 1000, that value is most likely a 16bit number.

Even though the maximum amount of coins are 99 it doesn't mean its an 8bit number, this number COULD be 32bit.

That's a great explanation. You can also "pad" it with zeros or omit zeros to change the bits. You can really find any 8bit numberby searching it as 32 bits. However, you cant search for a number over 255 in an 8bit search to find it.
Use The bits category it falls in to for smaller results. Remember, it's always okay to go larger- so if you're searching an unknown value, best best is using 32 bits.
