Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Given a sequence of instructions that all result in zero, explain how the status flags will change and how the CU will react.

💡 Hint: Think about each instruction's effect on the status flags.

Challenge 2 Hard

Analyze how a failure to send control signals at the correct time could impact a simple ADD operation in a CPU.

💡 Hint: Consider what would happen if the operand values were misread.
