22.4.1. Unconditional vs Conditional Jumps

Try these first

1. 1.

   What is an unconditional jump?

   Hint

   Think about how it directs without conditions.

2. 2.

   Describe a condition necessary for a conditional jump.

   Hint

   Consider conditions like overflow or zero.

3. 3.

   What type of jump does not check conditions?

   • Conditional Jump
   • Unconditional Jump
   • Both

   Hint

   Think about which type of jump takes action without any checks.

4. 4.

   True or False: Conditional jumps always divert to the same address.

   • True
   • False

   Hint

   Remember that conditions influence the flow.

5. 5.

   Design a simple assembly code sequence that includes both an unconditional jump and a conditional jump. Explain the logic behind your choices.

   Hint

   Consider the flow of execution when using these jumps.

6. 6.

   What could go wrong if a conditional jump does not correctly evaluate its condition? Provide a coding example illustrating the consequences.

   Hint

   Reflect on how states change in your logical flow.
