Chapter 2, Problem 17CRP

Suppose the memory cells at addresses 0x00 through 0x0D in the Vole contain the following bit patterns:

Address Contents
0x00 0x20
0x01 0x04
0x02 0x21
0x03 0x01
0x04 0x40
0x05 0x12
0x06 0x51
0x07 0x12
0x08 0xB1
0x09 0x0C
0x0A 0xB0
0x0B 0x06
0x0C 0xC0
0x0D 0x00

Assume that the machine starts with its program counter containing 0x00.

  1. a. What bit pattern will be in register 0x0 when the machine halts?
  2. b. What bit pattern will be in register 0x1 when the machine halts?
  3. c. What bit pattern is in the program counter when the machine halts?
