Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Imagine you're programming a simple game in assembly language. You need to handle scores stored in memory locations. Discuss how you would design the instructions to update scores, considering limitations.

💡 Hint: Think about how you would manually repeat steps for each player's score.

Challenge 2 Hard

Given a limited instruction set, discuss a scenario where you would encounter difficulties implementing a nested loop and the implications.

💡 Hint: Consider what makes looping inherently repetitive and how that translates into instructions.
