1.

In LC-3 assembly language, what is the difference between the LEA (Load Effective Address) instruction and a direct LDR (Load) instruction?

a)

LEA allows loading from any address, while LDR is limited to immediate values.

b)

LEA loads the actual data at an address, while LDR loads the effective address.

c)

LEA calculates and loads the effective address, while LDR loads data directly from memory.

d)

LEA and LDR are functionally identical; they can be used interchangeably.

2.

When might you prefer to use LEA over LDI (Load Indirect) in LC-3 assembly programming?

a)

LEA is always more efficient than LDI.

b)

LEA is used for loading immediate values, while LDI is used for loading addresses

c)

LEA allows for more flexible address calculations, while LDI is limited to direct address loading.

d)

LEA and LDI are interchangeable, and the choice depends on programmer preference.

What is the progress towards a successful LEA?

a)
