In a computer memory, a number indicating a
specific location. At each address, a single
piece of data can be stored. For
microcomputers, this normally amounts to one
byte (enough to represent a single character
such as a letter or number). The maximum
capacity of a computer memory depends on how
many memory addresses it can have. This is
normally measured in units of 1,024 bytes
(known as kilobytes, or K).
