Memory address

In a computer using virtual memory, accessing the location corresponding to a memory address may involve many levels.

In computing, a memory address is a reference to a specific memory location used at various levels by software and hardware.[1] Memory addresses are fixed-length sequences of digits conventionally displayed and manipulated as unsigned integers. Such numerical semantic bases itself upon features of CPU (such as the instruction pointer and incremental address registers), as well upon use of the memory like an array endorsed by various programming languages.
