Control Operations and Instruction Sets Quiz

Which of the following x86 instructions is used to call a subroutine and save the return address?

• JMP

• CALL

• RET

• Jcc

What is the main function of the RET instruction in the x86 architecture?

• Return from a subroutine

• Jump to a new location in the program

• Halt the processor

• Perform arithmetic operations

The Jcc instruction in the x86 architecture performs what kind of operation?

• Move data between registers

• Conditional jump based on status flags

• Perform bitwise operations

• Load data from memory to register

What does the NOP instruction do in both x86 and ARM instruction sets?

• Halt the processor

• Perform a no-operation

• Move data between registers

• Load data from memory

Which instruction in the x86 architecture stops instruction execution and places the processor in a halt state?

• WAIT

• INT

• HLT

• NOP

Which Intel x86 instruction checks the status of condition flags before performing a jump operation?

• Jcc

• JMP

• RET

• CALL

In ARM architecture, what is the purpose of load and store instructions?

• Move data between registers

• Perform arithmetic operations on data in memory

• Access data in memory locations

• Control system interrupts

What is a key feature of ARM's instruction set that differentiates it from the x86 instruction set?

• Uses complex instruction formats

• Supports only arithmetic instructions

• Relies heavily on register addressing and conditional execution

• Performs I/O operations directly

Which of the following instructions supports procedural call/return instruction?

• Memory management instruction

• Procedural instruction

• Status flags instruction

• Conditional codes instructions

Which type of instruction in ARM architectures supports conditional branching?

• Data processing instruction

• Extended instructions

• Branch instruction

• Status register access instruction
