|
|||

ation of a single unambigious word. Preferred by illiterates and semi-

case the increase is by one or two, depending on the processor and whether
|
|||
|
|
the address is on an even boundary or such increase causes an overflow
|
|||
|
|
exception processor fault, which may either cause the program to crash or
|

decrease by a large number instead of increase, depending the register

used and the operation being attempted.

|
|||
|
|
really a binary thousand (which is eight), but is the binary number

closest to a decimal thousand. This has proven so completely confusing
|
|||
|
|
that is has become a standard.
|
|||
|

|
|||
|
|
"Thanks for all your money and goodbye," far less crude than "Stick 'em
|
|||
