Can the upper 16 bits of the four 32 bit general registers in the x86 architecture be addressed directly?

Solution

No,the upper 16 bits of the four 32 bit general registers in the x86 architecture can\'t be addressed directly.But,indirectly by swapping it with lower 16 bits then we can access.

We can access the upper 8 bits from the lower 16 bit of the general purpose registers can be addressed directly.
