Question 1

What does an opcode signify in a machine instruction?

  • The data location
  • The operation to perform
  • The address of the next instruction

💡 Hint: Consider what the CPU needs first before it can act.

Question 2

True or False: Assembly language is more user-friendly than high-level programming languages.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Think about how instructions are written in both languages.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

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.

Question 2

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.
