title: Calculating Offset (Motorola 68k)
body: <p>I'm given a question to find the offset as such:  </p>
  
  <p>Assume  the  instruction  BNE  HERE  is  in  memory  location  $FF1234  and  the  label  HERE represents  the  instruction  at  address  $FF12C0.  Compute  the  offset  (displacement)  for  thisinstruction. Will the offset be stored as an 8-bit or 16-bit value by a typical assembler? Why?</p>
  
  <p>I tried doing this to find the displacement:</p>
  
  <pre><code>FF1234 + offset = HERE = FF12C0
  I tried solving for Offset which is:
  
   FF1234
  -FF12C0
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Which equals: 33432820?</p>
  
  <p>Would this be the correct way of calulating the offset?</p>
