A 32 bit microprocessor has the word length equal to ___________.
A 32 bit microprocessor has the word length equal to ___________.
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is C 4 bytes
A 32 bit microprocessor has the word length equal to 4.
Data structures containing such different sized words
refer to them as WORD (16 bits/2 bytes), DWORD (32 bits/4 bytes) and QWORD (64
bits/8 bytes) respectively.
In computing, a word is the natural unit of data used by
a particular processor design. A word is a fixed-sized piece of data handled as
a unit by the instruction set or the hardware of the processor. The number of
bits in a word (the word size, word width, or word length) is an important
characteristic of any specific processor design or computer architecture.
