Questions and Answers

What is the function of the Immediate Value in the Immediate Format?

  • It specifies the target register for the operation.
  • It is a constant or offset used as part of the instruction operation. (correct)
  • It determines the opcode for the instruction.
  • It specifies the register to be used as a source.
  • What is the purpose of the opcode in the Jump Format?

  • It provides the destination address for the jump.
  • It determines the type of jump operation.
  • It specifies the source register for the operation.
  • It is the machine code representation of the instruction name. (correct)
  • What is the characteristic of the Implicit addressing mode?

  • It provides the address as an encoded operand.
  • It uses a constant offset to access data.
  • It implies the data needed for the operation by the instruction definition. (correct)
  • It uses a register to provide the address.
