Textbook Question

Chapter 2.3, Problem 3QE

Suppose the Vole memory cells at addresses 0xA4 to 0xB1 contain the bit patterns given in the following table:

Address	Contents
0xA4	0x20
0xA5	0x00
0xA6	0x21
0xA7	0x03
0xA8	0x22
0xA9	0x01
0xAA	0xB1
0xAB	0xB0
0xAC	0x50
0xAD	0x02
0xAE	0xB0
0xAF	0xAA
0xB0	0xC0
0xB1	0x00

When answering the following questions, assume that the Vole is started with its program counter containing 0xA4.

a. What is in register 0x0 the first time the instruction at address 0xAA is executed?
b. What is in register 0x0 the second time the instruction at address 0xAA is executed?
c. How many times is the instruction at address 0xAA executed before the Vole halts?
