FOLDOC 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.

ADDRESS, chan. plead. That part of a bill which contains the appropriate and technical description of the court where the plaintiff seeks his remedy. Coop. Eq. Pl. 8; Bart. Suit in Eq. Story, Eq. Pl. Sec. 26 Van Hey. Eq. Draft. 2.
ADDRESS, legislation. In Pennsylvania it is a resolution of both, branches of the legislature, two-thirds of each house concurring, requesting the governor to remove a judge from office. The constitution of that state, art. 5, s. 2, directs that "for any reasonable cause, which shall not be, ground for impeachment, the governor may remove any of them [the judges], on the address of two-third's of each branch of the legislature." The mode of removal by address is unknown to the constitution of the, United States, but it is recognized in several of the states. In some of the state constitutions the language is imperative; the governor when thus addressed shall remove; in others it is left to his discretion, he may remove. The relative proportion of each house that must join in the address, varies also in different states. In some a bare majority is sufficient; in others, two- thirds are requisite; and in others three-fourths. 1 Journ. of Law, 154.
