Which of the following best corresponds to the type of memory addressing where the address
location that is specified in the program instruction contains the address of the final desired
location?
A.
Direct addressing
B.
Indirect addressing
C.
Indexed addressing
D.
Program addressing
Explanation:
An addressing mode found in many processors’ instruction sets where the instruction contains the
address of a memory location which contains the address of the operand (the “effective address”) or
specifies a register which contains the effective address. Indirect addressing is often combined with
pre- or post- increment or decrement addressing, allowing the address of the operand to be
increased or decreased by one (or some specified number) either before or after using it.
