What we have learnt

  • Stack operations consist of pushing and popping elements, with basic arithmetic operations available.
  • Different addressing modes enhance instruction flexibility in programming, each with distinct use cases.
  • Displacement modes allow for effective address generation, optimizing memory access in programming.

Key Concepts

-- Stack Operations
Fundamental operations that include adding and removing elements from a stack data structure, primarily push (to add) and pop (to remove).
-- Addressing Modes
Techniques used to specify the operands for instructions in a program, including immediate, direct, indirect, and displacement addressing.
-- Displacement Addressing
An addressing mode that computes the effective address of an operand based on a base address plus an offset.
