Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Explain why indirect addressing might be preferred in a complex computational system. Provide examples from memory management.

💡 Hint: Consider how dynamic situations can benefit or change accessing modes.

Challenge 2 Hard

Design a simple CPU instruction set featuring both indirect and register indirect addressing modes. Explain how each mode will benefit the instruction execution.

💡 Hint: Use the advantages of both modes we've discussed to enrich the functionality.
