Method
Typically the desired address is isolated using a series of comparison tests since the player usually isn't aware of the address. The isolation process is as follows:
- The player initiates a search (if the value is known, the player may input that)
- The player plays the game and finds something to change the value. For example, if the player is looking for health, the player may intentionally take damage.
- The player runs a comparison test. Depending on how the value was changed, the player will run the corresponding comparison test.
- If the address isn't isolated, change the value and run a comparison test again.
- Repeat until the address is isolated.

Famous quotes containing the word method:
“A method of child-rearing is not—or should not be—a whim, a fashion or a shibboleth. It should derive from an understanding of the developing child, of his physical and mental equipment at any given stage, and, therefore, his readiness at any given stage to adapt, to learn, to regulate his behavior according to parental expectations.”
—Selma H. Fraiberg (20th century)
“You know, I have a method all my own. If you’ll notice, the coat came first, then the tie, then the shirt. Now, according to Hoyle, after that the pants should be next. There’s where I’m different. I go for the shoes next. First the right, then the left. After that, it’s every man for himself.”
—Robert Riskin (1897–1955)
“Direct action ... is the logical, consistent method of Anarchism.”
—Emma Goldman (1869–1940)
