A "word," in computing, is a standard memory size used for data storage. The most popular word sizes for modern computers is 16, 32, or 64 bits.
Some systems or programming languages don't declare specific sizes for variables and use "word," "half-word," and "double word" to describe how much storage space you are allocating.
This means that if you have a system with a 32 bit word size, and you declare a double word integer, you have declared a 64 bit integer.

A computer has 64MB megabytes of memory Each word is 4 bytes How many bits are needed to address each single word in memory?
The memory address space is 64 MB, which means 226. However, each word is 4 bytes, which means that you have 224 words. This means you need log2 224 or 24 bits, to address each word.
