title: Addressing Mode: Distinguishing between Absolute Short and Absolute Long?
body: <p>Okay so I have the following instruction:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>MOVE.W $1234, $8000</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Now I'm confused whether the addressing mode for $1234 and $8000 is absolute short or absolute long. </p>
  
  <p>I would also really appreciate it if someone can explain how to distinguish between absolute short and absolute long. Thanks.</p>
