Question 1.
What is the main purpose of the Condition Code Register?
Show hintHide hint
Think about what helps the CPU make decisions.
Question 2.
Name one flag held in the Condition Code Register.
Show hintHide hint
These flags show the results of computations.
3Question 3.
What is the primary function of the Condition Code Register?
- To store results of operations
- To hold flags indicating operation statuses
- To control memory access
Show hintHide hint
Focus on what indicates results rather than results themselves.
4Question 4.
True or False: The Zero Flag is set when the result of an operation is non-zero.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Think about what conditions set flags.
Question 5.
You are designing a simple CPU architecture. Explain how you would implement a Condition Code Register and the flags it should include.
Show hintHide hint
What results specifically inform changes in program execution?
Question 6.
Write a simple assembly language program that utilizes the CPU's condition code flags to perform an operation if a condition is met (like checking if a number is zero).
Show hintHide hint
Think about conditional jumps and how they relate to flag states.
