Well, no. On 32-bit machines such as IBM 360, VAX, etc. half a 32-bit word is a halfword, the fullword is equal to FOUR bytes. On a 360/65 and above, the memory word was 64 bits, or a double-word, so half that was a fullword. Just makes it more confusing.Sorry, thanks for playing but Actually half of a WORD is a BYTE, whatever the numerical length is. Ready for this,half of a BYTE is a NIBBLE.
