The extra segment in the 8086/8088 is a 64kb region of memory that is indexed by the displacement address of the destination of certain string operations, relative to DI. Contrast that with the data segment, which is a 64kb region of memory that is indexed by the displacment address of the displacement of most operand addresses.
The stack segment is similar, but it is used for stack oriented data, relative to SP or BP.

What are the 2 subset of a line define each?
ray and segment
How would you define line segment?
a line with two arrows on the end.
How do you find the midpoint of a segment with the endpoints -4 -14 -229?
There are only three endpoint given and these are not sufficient to define a segment of a line.
Define common internal tangent of 2 circles?
it intersects the segment joining the centers of two circles
Can a line have a midpoint or bisector?
If you mean a line segment, then yes, every line segment has a midpoint. However, some ideas of a line define it as going on forever in a certain plane, so if is it a line without beginning or end, then it can't really have a midpoint since there is nothing to measure from. You would have to define a starting and ending point before it could have a midpoint.
What is the example of segment register?
There are four segment registers on the 8086 and 8088. These are CS (code for code), DS (data segment), ES (extra data segment), and SS (stack segment).
How many segment can be directly addressed at a particular time by 8086 microprocessor?
There are four segment registers in the 8086/8088, Code Segment (CS), Stack Segment (SS), Data Segment (DS), and Extra Segment (ES). As a result, there are four segments that can be directly addressed at a particular time, i.e. without an extra instruction to reload a segment register.
What are the different types of segment register?
The code segment (CS) register is used for access to program code. The data segment (DS) register is used for access to data. The extra segment (ES) register is used for access to data during certain string primitive operations. The stack segment (SS) register is used for access to stack data.Any of these implied uses can be overridden with a segment override prefix opcode.
How many base registers are there in 8086?
There are four base registers in the 8086/8088; Code Segment (CS), Data Segment (DS), Stack Segment (SS), and Extra Segment (ES).
What is the SP pointing register's default memory segment?
The default segment for SP (Stack Pointer) relative memory accesses in the 8086/8088 is SS (Stack Segment).
How segment register are used?
The segment register in the 80806/8088 microprocessor contains the base address (divided by 16) of a region of memory. Since the register is 16 bits in size, there are 65,536 possible segment base addresses, ranging from 00000H to FFFF0H, in increments of 00010H.After address translation at the instruction level, the generated 16 bit offset is added to the selected segment register times 16 to generate a physical address between 00000H and FFFFFH. (If the offset and base go past FFFFFH, they wrap around back to 00000H.) Since the offset is also 16 bits in size, and since the overlap is only 4 bits (times 16), then each 64 kb segment overlaps by 16 bytes.There are four segment registers; CS, DS, ES, and SS, standing for Code Segment, Data Segment, Extra Segment, and Stack Segment.CS is used for opcode fetches. DS is used for normal data. ES is used for certain string operations as the destination address. SS is used for stack and frame (BP) data.The segment registers can be implicitly selected by context, or they can be explicitly selected with a segment prefix opcode.
Which segment is used to store interrupt and subroutine return address registers?
stack segment
What is the use of .stack .data in starting lines of 8086 programming?
.STACK reserves bytes in RAM memory for the stack (the place where the processor will keep function calls and parameters)..DATABelow the ".DATA" line you should declare (and optionally define) your variables, so the compiler reserves the corresponding RAM for each of them.Data works differently from stack, as the data segment will keep named values (the variables values) while the stack will not. The stack will grow as needed upto the maximum value defined in the .STACK directive.
Define line segment?
A line segment has two end points. This is called an line segment.
What are the function of segment register?
The segment register in the 8086/8088 provide a base address for any memory access. There are four segment registers, CS - Code Segment, DS - Data Segment, SS - Stack Segment, and ES - Extra Segment. Each in used in the context of a particular instruction and contains the base address of the memory segment divided by 16. This allows the processor to access up to 1 MB of memory, though only in segments of 64 KB at a time.
How the Memory Management Unit converts the logical addresses to physical addresses?
In the 8086/8088, the logical address corresponds to a segment register, such as CS (Code Segment), DS (Data Segment), SS (Stack Segment) and ES (Extra Segment). The segment register is selected by context, or it is explicitly selected using a segment override prefix. The segment register is left shifted 4 bits into a 20-bit temporary register. This is the same as multiplying it by 16. Then the logical address is added to that result. The final result is the physical address.
How many register are located in 8088microprocessor?
there are 14 registers in 8088 micro processor. All the 14 are 16 bit registers. They are4 segment registers viz - code segment register, stack segment register, data segment register, extra segment register.general registers are - accumulator register i.e. AX, base register i.e. BX, count register i.e. CX, data register i.e. DX and stack pointer (SP), base pointer (BP).index registers are - source index(SI), destination index(DI),and the other registers are instruction pointer and flags register.
