In a 32-bit machine with a byte addressable memory, what is the maximum memory…

In immediate addressing, the operand is directly encoded in the instruction itself. For a 32-bit machine with byte-addressable memory, if we assume standard instruction formats where part of the 32 bits is used for opcode and addressing mode, typically only a portion remains for immediate data. This limits the maximum directly addressable memory range to what can be represented by those bits, often 16-bit or less for practical instruction encoding.
