DWORD?

[DIIST]

Does anyone out there know what a DWORD or WORD is, or what its equal too in Turing? I'm trying to read of the file written in C, which seem to use this variable type a lot. !

When looking at hex you have different Data types.

BYTE = one byte (00 - FF) 8 bits

This translates to an integer of 0 - 255


DWORD = Double word. A data element that is 2 words, 4 bytes and 32 bits in size. (Unsigned long)

This translates to an integer of 0 - 2147483647

(Did you try google? )

Is DWORD a value in HEX? I dont really quite understand. Google isnt much help either.

I was also wondering, you mentioned something about it being equal to an unsigned long. So can you read it as a nat4?

I'm thinking that "WORD" in DWORD doent techinically mean a "word" or string, right?

it's not a value, it's a length, kind of like thousand, or million for decimals

DWORD = Double word..

Word = 2 bytes (16 bit length)
DWORD = 4 bytes (32 bit length)

when I said it was a unisgned long that was pertaining to C++. If you do not know what that means then perhaps you should reasearch the C++ language in greater depth.

Hope that helps.

Thanks! I got it now. !
