Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Analyze the flow of a program that utilizes both a conditional jump based on the zero flag and a function call. Describe step-by-step how the program counter is modified.
💡 Hint: Think about what effects the flags have before a function call.
Consider a nested function call where two flags (zero and sign) can affect the control flow. Describe how a function might handle alternate paths based on these flags.
💡 Hint: Map out the potential paths carefully.
