Question 21
|
The expression (a*b)* c op….
where ‘op’ is one of ‘+’, ‘*’ and ‘↑’ (exponentiation) can be evaluated on a CPU with a single register without storing the value of (a * b) if
|
‘op’ is ’+’ or ‘*’
|
|
|
‘op’ is ’↑’ or ‘*’
|
|
|
‘op’ is ’↑’ or ‘+’
|
|
|
not possible to evaluate without storing
|
Question 21 Explanation:
Lets say, the expression is one of the below:
(a*b)*c + d
(a*b)*c * d
(a*b)*c ∧ d
In any case, brackets has the highest priority always. So I have to compute brackets first. Now, for + and *, I can do the rest of the operation and save results in the same register. But for exponentiation, I have to store the result of a*b, then do the computation of c∧d, then multiply these two results.
Hence, (A) is correct.
(a*b)*c + d
(a*b)*c * d
(a*b)*c ∧ d
In any case, brackets has the highest priority always. So I have to compute brackets first. Now, for + and *, I can do the rest of the operation and save results in the same register. But for exponentiation, I have to store the result of a*b, then do the computation of c∧d, then multiply these two results.
Hence, (A) is correct.
