Practice Questions

Test your understanding with targeted questions

Question 1 Easy

What is the value in R1 if R1 + 1 accesses memory location 2 initially?

💡 Hint: Consider how registers are indexed starting from 1.

Question 2 Easy

If R5 is initialized to 0, what will it be after adding the value at memory[2]?

💡 Hint: Think about what value was stored in memory[2].

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

You have an array starting at memory location 100H with values 1, 3, 5, and 7. If R1 is 2, what value will be added to R5 when executed with R5 += array[R1 + 1]?

💡 Hint: Calculate the effective memory location first.

Challenge 2 Hard

If a CPU operates with 8-bit data sizes, how many instructions could effectively fit in a 16-bit addressing space when split into two words?

💡 Hint: Count how many 8-bit segments fit into 16-bits.
