 13. Please predict the address difference for a and

b in the following program, and check the result
with your computer.

 13. Solution
 Tutorial/Lab
37

 14. It is shown in the following figure that the

address of a and b are both 32-bit, why it is 32-bit?
 Tutorial/Lab
38

 14. Solution
 Because of the virtual address mode of CPU to access
memory
 The virtual address in the figure is not 64-bit physical
address, but 32-bit virtual/linear address.

 18. What is the difference between the ASCII code

of lower-case letter and upper-case letter? Write a
programming C language program to input an
lower-case letter and output its upper-case letter.
 Tutorial/Lab
49

 18. Solution
 A-Z, 41H-5AH
 a-z, 61H-7AH
 The difference between the ASCII code of lower-case
letter and upper-case letter is 61H-41H=20H=32 in
decimal

 19. It is shown in the following figure that the

address of b is less/lower than the address of a. Is
it possible that the address of b is more/higher
than the address of a?
 Tutorial/Lab
53

 19. Solution
 It is possible.
 It usually depends on computer operation system or
compiler
 Tutorial/Lab
54

 20. It is shown in the figure for 32-bit computer

the int data type size is 32-bit. Why its size still 32-
bit for 64-bit computer?

 21. What conclusion can you have from the

following 2 figures.
 Tutorial/Lab
57

 21. Solution
 The virtual address could be different bits even for the
same computer, because of different compilers.
 The virtual address could usually be 32-bit, 48-bit, or
64-bit.
