word
mot m

Word. A name given to a set of binary numbers that form a working group in a specific computer. The memory of such a computer is also organized into words, and the length of the word is measured by the number of bits each contains. A word usually means a word consisting of 16 bits. The 8-bit word most commonly used in small computers is called a byte, while the 32-bit word is called a double word, and the 64-bit word is called a quad word. The longer the word, the faster the CPU works, but longer words require more complex integrated circuits.

Most instructions that operate the processor contain two parts: an operator (add, subtract) and an operator containing the address of the memory location that should be used.

Using a 24-bit word, the operator and operator can be arranged in 8 and 16 bits.

★★★ ★★★ ★★ ★★ ★★
16-bit operator 65536-0
★★★ ★★★ ★★
8-bit operator 255-0

It can occupy three memory locations in an 8-bit computer or one location in a 24-bit computer.

Word Processing (WP)
Text processing

Word processing. The electronic placement of attributes, sentences, and paragraphs that can be stored, used, and changed to generate messages, documents, and reports with ease.

Word processing packages have much better features than typewriters. Text can be moved, copied, searched, and replaced, and spelling can sometimes be checked. Headings can be centered and changes made to the layout of a document can be made. Word wrapping can be used to automatically move to the next line, as well as to shift text after it has been entered. Character sizes and printing can be changed.

Modern word processing has the features of a WYSIWYG display (what you see is what you get) so that the text displayed on the screen is exactly the same as the text that will be printed on paper. Word processors can be mouse-operated rather than being entirely controlled by a touchpad: some manufacturers offer machines specifically designed to be used as word processors only. These often contain additional touches that replace commands/functions. Commonly used word processing packages for standard computers include Wordstar and Microsoft Word.

work station
station f de travail

Work station. In modern offices one does not just sit at a desk but at a work station. This station has its own visual display unit connected to the company's database as well as viewdata systems. A touch panel allows for the printing of memos and messages that can be sent immediately by telephone line. Incoming messages are stored so that they can be accepted on demand. Such developments have made the work station not confined to the office specifically, but may be in the laboratory itself or even at home.

work tape
band f de travail

Work tape. Magnetic tape ready for use at any time. It may be used to store data, a sorting routine, or the intermediate results of a long calculation.
