Everything about Memory address
Reference to a specific memory location
In computing, a memory address is a reference to a specific memory location in memory used by both software and hardware. These addresses are fixed-length sequences of digits, typically displayed and handled as unsigned integers. This numerical representation is based on the features of the CPU. Programming language constructs often treat the memory like an array. Wikipedia →
