address
     
        1.  {e-mail address}.
     
        2.  {Internet address}.
     
        3.  {MAC address}.
     
        4.  An unsigned integer used to select
        one fundamental element of storage, usually known as a {word}
        from a computer's {main memory} or other storage device.  The
        {CPU} outputs addresses on its {address bus} which may be
        connected to an {address decoder}, {cache controller}, {memory
        management unit}, and other devices.
     
        While from a hardware point of view an address is indeed an
        integer most {strongly typed} programming languages disallow
        mixing integers and addresses, and indeed addresses of
        different data types.  This is a fine example for {syntactic
        salt}: the compiler could work without it but makes writing
        bad programs more difficult.
