True
```
So we add `0x18` and `0x5` to the address of the `call` instruction. The offset is measured from the address of the following instruction. Our call instruction is 5-bytes long (`e8 18 00 00 00`) and the `0x18` is the offset of the call after the `factorial` function. A compiler generally creates each object file with the program addresses starting at zero. But if a program is created from multiple object files, these will overlap.

What we have seen in this section is the `relocation` process. This process assigns load addresses to the various parts of the program, adjusting the code and data in the program to reflect the assigned addresses.
