10 Questions
Which addressing mode specifies the data directly in the instruction?
Immediate addressing
In which addressing mode is the address of the data given in the instruction?
Direct addressing
Which addressing mode uses a register to store the address of the address of the data?
Register indirect addressing
How does indexed addressing differ from based addressing?
Indexed addressing determines the effective address by adding the offset in the register to the address in the operand, while based addressing determines the effective address by adding the base address in the register to the address in the operand.
In which addressing mode is the operand assumed to be on top of the stack?
Stack addressing
Which addressing mode uses a register (implicitly or explicitly) as an offset that is added to the address in the operand to determine the effective address?
Indexed addressing
Which addressing mode gives the address of the address of the data in the instruction?
Indirect addressing
Which addressing mode is similar to indexed addressing, but uses a base register instead of an index register?
Based addressing
Which addressing mode has many variations, including indirect indexed, base/offset, self-relative, and auto increment-decrement, that are not covered in detail?
Addressing modes in general
Which addressing mode stores the data in a register?
Register addressing
