We are writing a program that takes a word and checks how many letters​

def word_count(word):

return len(word)

a = word_count('scream')

print(a

Explanation:

Using python3:

def word_count(word):

#defines a function named word_count which takes in a single argument which is the word to be counted

return len(word)

#The only thing the function does is to count the number letters in the word.

For instance :

return len(word)

Calling the function and attaching it to the variable named a

Counts the number of letters in scream and assigns the result to a

a = word_count('scream')

print(a)

a gives an output of 6 ; which is the number of letters in scream.

14 bits memory address - 4096 bits.

16 bits memory address - 16384 bits.

Explanation:

The computer system memory is a hardware component that provides the necessary memory space and location to run software application on the computer system. The memory address location comes in various sizes.

A 14 bit memory can address 2^14 bits which is 4096 bits, since each 14 bit line carries a bit on which line. So for a 16 bit memory address, 2^16 bits location is addressed.
