What is the word length of a computer? How does the word length of a
 computer affect what the computer is able to compute? That is, is it a
 valid argument, in light of what you learned in Chapter 1, to say that a
 computer with a larger word size can process more information and
 therefore is capable of computing more than a computer with a smaller
 word size?
Solution
The word length of the computer is the size of the quantities processed by the ALU is 16 bits for LC3.
All computers have similar computational capabilities but the diffrences are with respect to the time and memory requirements.
