In solidity, keccak 256 function returns a hash value. How many bits does keccak 256 return?

Question

I used the following command : keccak256('abc', 'pqr', 123); I get a value once I run this. How many bit value is this?

Never mind the output length, what values does it use for bitrate, capacity, and domain suffix? — Bobulous, May 24 '17 at 08:43

Keccak-256 in Solidity returns a 32 byte array (which could also be represented as a 256 bit string), as described in the Solidity Documentation.
