Exercise 1: Computing the Effective Address of LD A,(IX+5) — Possible Solution ==================================================================== GIVEN ------------------------------ IX = $4000 Instruction: LD A,(IX+5) APPLYING THE FORMULA ------------------------------ Per this chapter's own explanation, indexed addressing with displacement computes its effective address as: effective address = (value in the index register) + displacement Substituting the given values: effective address = $4000 + 5 = $4005 RESULT ------------------------------ LD A,(IX+5) reads the byte stored at address $4005. WHY THIS WORKS AS AN ANSWER ------------------------------ It applies the chapter's own stated formula directly to the given register value and displacement, showing the arithmetic explicitly rather than just stating the final address.
