Programmer's view of computer memory is extremely simplified...
-
...a long sequence of "placeholders" or "boxes" representing individual memory locations.
-
-
Each memory location can be accessed at the same speed, hence the name RAM,
"Random Access Memory". -
In order to allow the processor to uniquely specify each location, the slots are sequentially numbered starting at 0.
-
The number corresponding to a given slot is called its address.

Value 7 stored at location 12
