Question 1
What is a branch instruction?
- A way to loop indefinitely
- A control structure that alters execution flow
- A method to shut down the processor
💡 Hint: Think of structures that decide what code runs.
Question 2
True or False: Control hazards occur when the processor is unsure of the next instruction to fetch due to a branch.
- True
- False
💡 Hint: Relate this to how branching can cause delays.
