// Tests the Memory chip by inputting values to selected addresses, 
// verifying that these addresses were indeed written to, and verifying  
// that other addresses were not accessed by mistake. In particular, we 
// focus on probing the registers in addresses 'lower RAM', 'upper RAM',
// and 'Screen', which correspond to 0, %X2000, and %X4000 in Hexadecimal 
// (0, 8192 (8K), and 16385 (16K+1) in decimal).

// We've noticed a common design mistake in several students' Memory.hdl files.
// This error leads to zeros being written in the offset of inactive memory segments
// instead of the intended location. To identify this issue, the test should check not
// only for incorrect writes into the wrong segment but also for any unexpected changes.
// To prepare for this, we've initialized the memory with a specific number in the areas
// where these erroneous writes might happen.
