Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

You need to calculate (A + B) * (C + D) using both single-address and zero-address instructions. Analyze the instruction count for each.

💡 Hint: Compare the number of push and pop operations in zero-address against individual loading and storing in single-address.

Question 2

Discuss how using a single operand as both source and destination simplifies coding. Provide an example through pseudo-code.

💡 Hint: Think about how many operations are avoided with direct assignment versus using additional variables.
