A physical memory/cache system has the above properties. I need to make a diagram showing how a 12‐bit main memory address is partitioned into the block offset, set index, and tag fields for addressing the cache. Show clearly the bit positions of the 12‐bit address occupied by each field.

I have no idea how to even start this, so some guidance would be great.
