What is relative addressing

Relative addressing: Relative addressing is an address construction technique in which the operand field contains a relative address, also called an offset or displacement D. The effective address A of an operand is then some function f (D, R1, R2, ...) and computed by adding D to the contents of R, that is,

A = R + D

Where,

A = effective address

R = CPU register contents

D = displacement / offset
