Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Calculate the effective address if R1 = 3 and the displacement is 5. How would this change if R1 increments by 2?

💡 Hint: Keep adding the displacement to the updated value of R1.

Challenge 2 Hard

Describe how the location of R1 at 4 pointing to an array would change the outcome of summing the first three elements. If R1 increments sequentially to access each element, what will happen?

💡 Hint: Think of a loop that continues until it sums all the necessary elements.
