Question 1

What does immediate addressing allow?

A. Directly loads data from memory
B. Passes data via a pointer
C. Contains data in the instruction
D. None of the above

💡 Hint: Think about where the data comes from in this mode.

Question 2

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Craft a small assembly code utilizing all three addressing modes: immediate, direct, and indirect. Explain the flow of how data moves.

💡 Hint: Break down how each instruction operates and the resulting values.

Challenge 2 Hard

Explain how displacement addressing could improve the performance of a sorting algorithm that processes an array of integers.

💡 Hint: Consider how the array's indices and a register value can work together for efficient access.
