What is MAP?

MAP can refer to multiple things, depending on the context. It could stand for: 1. **Memory-mapped Peripheral:** A way for a CPU to communicate with peripheral devices by mapping the device's registers to specific memory addresses. The CPU can then read and write to these addresses as if they were normal memory locations. 2. **Mobile Application Programming:** The process of developing applications for mobile devices. 3. **Mapping:** The process of creating a visual representation of an area, whether physical or conceptual. In computer science, it can refer to data structures like maps or dictionaries, which store key-value pairs. Without further context, it is difficult to provide a precise explanation.
