Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Assume you have to perform a calculation involving two registers and a memory address using a three-address instruction. Describe how you would break this down using a one-address instruction format.

💡 Hint: Break the steps down from one operation into multiple commands based on your understanding of memory and registers.

Question 2

Consider a system requiring high computation. Explain how three-address instructions make sense in terms of performance and design. Write a brief paragraph.

💡 Hint: Consider efficiency in how operations run on a CPU and trading off instruction complexity for speed.
