* 32-bit signed integer. Data can be read or written into one cell at a time.
|

* Tape can be moved one cell forward or backwards in order to change the
|
|
* targeted cell. Tape performs every operation sequentially. The amount of data
|
|
* stored on a single tape could exceed the amount of available RAM. Moving tape
|
|
* forward or backwards is a very time-consuming operation.
