2. Words Bits grouped in units of 16 to 64(2 to 8 bytes)
Data stored in words are located by an address
Address- is a unique binary representation of the location in memory
Its size depends on the computer

3. Overflow Error
This error occurs when the process the computer is trying to execute is bigger than 4 bytes

4. Real Numbers Real numbers are numbers containing decimal points.
A real number’s binary representation is about 4 to 8 bytes of memory.
A binary number of is equivalent to the real number 7.5.

5. Sign bit exponent signification
Sign bit exponent signification is arranging the fields so the the sign bit is in the most significant position
the biased exponent in the middle, and the mantissa in the least significant position

6. Roundoff Error
Roundoff errors happen when there aren’t enough bits to store the mantissa.
