Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

A CPU pulls an instruction from address 0x300, which points to the opcode 0x1 and address 0x940. Describe the result of executing this instruction based on the accumulator behavior.

💡 Hint: What does the opcode signify in terms of operations?

Challenge 2 Hard

If the PC is set to 0x300, and after one full execution of the instruction fetch and execute cycle, what would be the value of the PC if instruction length is 1 in hexadecimal?

💡 Hint: Consider how the PC operates with instruction flow.
