Memóriacímet

Memóriacímet is a Hungarian term that translates to "memory address" in English. It refers to the unique numerical identifier assigned to each location within a computer's random-access memory (RAM). Think of RAM as a vast collection of mailboxes, and each memóriacímet is the specific address of one of those mailboxes.

When a computer program needs to store or retrieve data, it uses these memory addresses. For example, if a program wants to save a number, it tells the processor which memóriacímet to use to store that number. Similarly, when it needs to access that number later, it again uses the memóriacímet to find its location in RAM. The processor constantly interacts with data through these addresses, making them fundamental to how computer memory operates.

The size of a memóriacímet determines the maximum amount of RAM a computer can address. Modern computers use 64-bit memory addresses, allowing them to access a significantly larger amount of RAM compared to older 32-bit systems. Understanding memory addresses is crucial for computer architecture, programming, and low-level system operations.
