Memory address

Common card · No. 382821

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 (such as the instruction pointer and incremental address registers). Programming language constructs often treat the memory like an array.
