From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (05 January 2017) [foldoc]:
address
1. e-mail address.
2. IP address.
3. MAC address.
4. An unsigned integer used to select
one fundamental element of storage, usually known as a word
from a computer's main memory or other storage device. The
CPU outputs addresses on its address bus which may be
connected to an address decoder, cache controller, {memory
management unit}, and other devices.
While from a hardware point of view an address is indeed an
integer most strongly typed programming languages disallow
mixing integers and addresses, and indeed addresses of
different data types. This is a fine example for {syntactic
salt}: the compiler could work without it but makes writing
bad programs more difficult.
