Address space

Address space refers to the range of unique identifiers, called addresses, assigned to devices, programs, or data locations within a computer system or network. Think of it as a map of all the "homes" or "spaces" where digital information can reside or be accessed. For example, in a computer, each program or piece of data has a specific address, enabling the system to locate and use it efficiently. Address space helps prevent conflicts and ensures that each item has a unique location, facilitating organized and effective communication within digital environments.
