HI there,

I was reading about different types of memories and I came across this question:

How many words can a 16x8 memory store?

Firstly, what is the meaning of 16x8 memory? and what is a word?

Thank you.,
 

A word is either a unit of measurement in your application, or 16 bits.
 

16x8 means 16 memory locations that are 8-bits wide.
