Interactive Quizzes
Engage in quick quizzes to reinforce what you've learned and check your comprehension.
Question 1
What is the purpose of the indirect mode?
- To use direct operands only
- To fetch operands indirectly via addresses
- To store data in registers only
💡 Hint: Remember the analogy of using another map to find what you need!
Question 2
True or False: Indirect addressing always uses a single memory access.
- True
- False
💡 Hint: Think about how many steps it takes to get to the final answer.

Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
Design an hypothetical CPU instruction that uses indirect addressing to fetch an operand and outline all necessary stages in detail.
💡 Hint: Consider a sequence outlining who talks to whom among registers.
Question 2
Compare the efficiency of indirect addressing to that of direct addressing with respect to a complex program load time.
💡 Hint: Weigh the pros and cons of speed versus flexibility in memory access.
