Assignment No.01: Plagiarism Will Be Graded Zero

Memory size is measured in bits, bytes, kilobytes, megabytes, gigabytes, and terabytes. A bit is the smallest unit and refers to a 0 or 1 in binary. Bytes group together 8 bits. Kilobytes contain 1,000 bytes, megabytes contain 1,000 kilobytes, gigabytes contain 1,000 megabytes, and terabytes contain 1,000 gigabytes. Memory addresses are used by hardware and software to refer to specific memory locations and are represented as integers.

Q#01: Memory 

 Memory Size (Bit, Byte KB, MB, GB or TB)


 Memory Address

Answer:
Memory:
Memory refers to processes that are used to obtain, store, retain, and subsequently obtain
information. There are three major processes involved in memory: encoding, storage and retrieval.
Includes the ability to preserve human memory and recover information.
Memory Size
Bit:
Bit is the smallest unit of measurement used in the amount of computer data. It contains the
same binary value of 0 or 1. While the same can explain the Boolean value of a bit (1) or incorrect (0),
in computer storage, bits are often called bytes combined together in 8 bit clusters. Since one byte has
eight bits, each of which has two possible values, one byte has 28 or 256 different values.

Kilobyte:
Kilobyte memory is the smallest unit of measurement but is larger than byte. One kilobyte of
103 or 1,000 bytes denoted as' k 'or' KB '. A kilobyte is technically 1,000 bytes. Most of the kilobytes
are used to measure the size of smaller files. For example, a simple document may contain 10 KB of
data.

Megabyte:
A Megabyte memory is equal to 1,000 per KBQ (KB) unit of measurement. A MB is 106 or
1,000,000 bytes and is denoted as "MB". 1 MB has 1,000,000 bytes. Megabytes are used to measure
the size of large files. For example, a high-resolution jpeg image can be 1-5 megabytes in size.

Gigabyte:
One gigabyte (GB) is equivalent to 1,000 MB. A gigabyte is 1,000 (MB), 000, 1,000 (KBPS)
and is abbreviated as "GB". Often used to measure a storage device.

Terabyte:
One terabyte is equal to 1,000 (GB). A terabyte is 1,000 (GB), 1,000, 000, 1,000 bytes and is
abbreviated as "TB". The storage capacity of most large storage devices is measured in terabytes.
Around 2007, consumer hard drives reached the capacity of 1 terabyte. Now, HDDS are measured in
terabytes.
Memory Address
A computer has a memory address software and hardware to refer to specific memory location used
at different levels. Memory addresses are used as fixed length sequences of integers considered visible
and unsigned integers. CPU features (such as instructions pointer and additional address registers) on
memory usage like a array validated by various programming languages along with such numerical
meanings.
