The memory unit of a computer has 256k words of 32 bits each. The computer has an instruction format with 4 fields: an opcode fi

eld; a mode field to specify 1 of 7 addressing modes; a register address field to specify 1 0f 60 registers; and a memory address field. Assume an instruction is 32 bits long. Answer the following:
A: How large must the mode field be?

B: How large must the register field be?

C: How large must the address field be?

D: How large is the opcode field?

Answer:

A. 3 bits required

B. 6 bits are required

c. 8 bits are required

d. 15 bits are required

Explanation:

A. In the address mode selector, we need to specify 1 out of 7 addressing modes. Therefore, there must be 3 bits (2³ = 8)

B. There are 60 address registers. Therefore the bits to represent 60 numbers are 6 bits. (2^6 = 64)

C. As indicated, the memory bit word required is 8 bits.

D. Total Bits = Opcode + Address mode + Register Add + Memory ADD

32 bits = Opcode+ 3 bits + 6 bits + 8 bits

Opcode =  32 bits - 17 bits = 15 bits.

Therefore 15 bits are required for Opcode field.

Write the definition of a function isSenior, that receives an integer parameter and returns true if the parameter's value is gre
ohaa [14]

Answer:

The function definition for this question can be given as:

Function Definition:

bool isSenior(int x )  //function

{  

//function body Or function definition.

//conditional statement

//if statement

if (x >=65)  

{

return true;   //return value true.

}

else  //else statement

{

return false;    //return value false.

}

}

Explanation:

In the above function definition firstly we define a function that isSenior. This function return Boolean value that is true or false in this function we pass the value as the parameter in that function we use the if statement that check the pass value is greater then equal to 65. If the condition is true it return true.else it will return false.
