Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Design a simple micro-program that includes three instructions: a jump conditional on a variable and explain the expected flow.

💡 Hint: Break down the program into its logical steps to analyze conditions.

Challenge 2 Hard

Analyze a case where too many unneeded conditions slow down execution; suggest optimizations in the jump logic.

💡 Hint: Focus on minimizing checks and optimizing flow for efficiency.
