ok, i think i understand that... but i always thought binary numbers were 8 bits long
so how does the actual code reach the processor... is that the OS's job? if so how does it do it?
also, you mentioned 32 bit system... how would you change the program to run as 64. i've actually been wanting to try and switch a program i made from 32 to 64. i know its just the amount of bits sent to the processor at a time, but how do you control that (and number of threads, etc). As you can tell, im only a moderate programmer
sorry if i am overwhelming you or something... im just very curious
.
i cannot even begin to express how greatful i am that you have been answering my questions in this thread and the os one... thank you!
