14.1.1. Handling Different Addressing Modes

Try these first

1. 1.

   What is immediate addressing mode?

   Hint

   Think about how quickly you can access the data in the instruction.

2. 2.

   Name one type of addressing mode.

   Hint

   Consider how the computer accesses operands.

3. 3.

   In immediate addressing mode, does the operand need to be fetched from memory?

   • True
   • False

   Hint

   Think about where the operand is located in this mode.

4. 4.

   How many steps are required in direct addressing mode?

   • 4
   • 6
   • 8

   Hint

   Recall the steps we discussed in class.

5. 5.

   Explain a scenario where indirect addressing is more beneficial compared to direct addressing. Provide a practical example.

   Hint

   Think of how pointers work in programming.

6. 6.

   Create a flow diagram showing the steps involved in fetching an operand in indirect addressing mode from the instruction to the final operand location.

   Hint

   Break down the process visually in stages.
