clarify stack alignment #1
Description
"The stack contains words (just like books - look how far my analogy extends!). However, all we know about the stack is the location of the most recent item - this is the stack pointer. The stack pointer must thus be a multiple of 4. This ensures the stack is properly aligned."
Why does that explain why the stack must be multiplied by 4, is it because words are 4 bytes?
And how does that cause alignment? Further what does it mean to be aligned?
I'm still reading so maybe that will be answered further down, but I think it would be good to add those answers up here, so readers can better follow without question/getting lost.
