To find the hexadecimal address of the first element of history, we need to add the size of balance to the starting memory address, which is 44h. The size of balance in hexadecimal is 2, so adding 2 to 44h gives us a hexadecimal address of 46h for the first element of history.
The hexadecimal address of the first element of history can be determined by adding the size of each element in the array to the starting memory address. In this case, we are given that the memory address of balance is 44h. To find the address of the first element of history, we need to add the size of balance to 44h.
The size of balance is DWORD, which is 4 bytes. To convert this to hexadecimal, we divide 4 by 2 to get 2 bytes. Therefore, the size of balance in hexadecimal is 2.
Adding the size of balance (2) to the starting address (44h), we can calculate the hexadecimal address of the first element of history to be 46h.
--The given question is incomplete, the complete question is
"Given the following declarations, assume that the memory address of balance is 44h. What is the hexadecimal address of the first element of history? HISTLIMIT = 100 .data balance account history is Valid DWORD WORD WORD BYTE ? HISTLIMIT DUP (?)"--
