b) Memory is little endian?
2. The memory unit of a computer has 2M Words of 32 bits (or 4 bytes) each. The computer has an instruction format with 4 fields: an opcode field; an addressing mode field to specify 1 of 6 addressing modes; a register address field to specify one of 7 registers; and a memory address field. Assume an instruction is 32 bits long. Answer the following:
