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:
“Relying on any one disciplinary approach—time-out, negotiation, tough love, the star system—puts the parenting team at risk. Why? Because children adapt to any method very quickly; today’s effective technique becomes tomorrow’s worn dance.”
—Ron Taffel (20th century)
“One of the grotesqueries of present-day American life is the amount of reasoning that goes into displaying the wisdom secreted in bad movies while proving that modern art is meaningless.... They have put into practise the notion that a bad art work cleverly interpreted according to some obscure Method is more rewarding than a masterpiece wrapped in silence.”
—Harold Rosenberg (1906–1978)
“Steady labor with the hands, which engrosses the attention also, is unquestionably the best method of removing palaver and sentimentality out of one’s style, both of speaking and writing.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
