Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Using the immediate addressing mode, write an assembly program that initializes a value in a register, performs a simple arithmetic operation, and prints the result.

💡 Hint: Start by loading a constant into a register and manipulating it using addition.

Challenge 2 Hard

Explain the implications of using register indirect addressing compared to direct addressing in terms of memory efficiency.

💡 Hint: Consider scenarios where memory addresses change or need to be calculated dynamically.
