Question 1

What role does an accumulator play in one-address instructions?

  • Temporary storage for results
  • Permanent storage for commands
  • An external memory location

💡 Hint: Think about what happens to values during calculations.

Question 2

True or False: A zero-address instruction format uses explicit memory addresses.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Consider how values are handled in stack-based systems.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Create an instruction set using both single-address and zero-address formats to compute the expression (A + B) * (C + D). Reflect on the operation count for both.

💡 Hint: Break down the operations step by step for both formats to see the differences.

Question 2

Given the constraints of a single accumulator, devise an algorithm that executes a multi-step arithmetic problem efficiently. Determine potential inefficiencies.

💡 Hint: Use logical groupings of operations to manage how you load your accumulator.
