P1 OP = 2400 (level 1)

P1 OP = 8800 (level 4)

Since these are such large numbers, they take up two memory addresses. P1's OP value is stored in the memory addresses 7E012E and 7E012F. To store a value of 8800, first convert 8800 to hexadecimal. 8800 is written as 2260 in hex. The first two digits on the right (60) go to the first address (7E012E:60) and the next two digits (22) go with the second address (7E012F:22).
