# Save the address space into the file 'sdm-10w.as'.
# The recommended extension for an address space is '.as'.

# Although we have used 10w as an indication of 10 writes to the memory, the
# address space is not affected by the writes. It is just a reference to help us
# remeber that this address space has been used together with the counters.
