Question

Each memory cell has a unique number assigned to it, called as the _________ of the cell.

• A. Address
• B. Register
• C. Number
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is A Address

• Memory addresses are fixed-length sequences of digits conventionally displayed and manipulated as unsigned integers.
• This binary address is a unique identifier used by a device or CPUto track the location of each memory byte.
• Modern computers are addressed by bytes which are assigned to memory addresses – binary numbers assigned to a random access memory (RAM) cell that holds up to one byte.
• Data greater than one byte is consecutively segmented into multiple bytes with a series of corresponding addresses.
