Free public beta until December 4, 2026: every course is open, no card needed. After that, the first chapter of each course stays free and full access is a one-time $39 ($19 for up to 100 founding members chosen for helpful feedback). Your progress is kept. How the beta works

address space

All the addresses a program can use, from 0 up to the largest the machine allows.

An address space is the range of addresses a program can form; on 64-bit systems user programs use a subset of a 2^64 range.

Examples

  • A 16-bit address space has 2¹⁶ = 65,536 addresses, 0x0000 to 0xFFFF.
