Which one of the following sequences of instructions corresponds to the high-level language statement $Z = X + Y$ ?
Note: X, Y, and Z are memory operands. R0, R1, and R2 are registers.
This question requires translating a high-level language statement into assembly code, considering a specific processor architecture and instruction format.
In a load-store architecture, computations happen exclusively on data held within registers. Data must be explicitly moved between memory locations and registers using distinct LOAD and STORE instructions.
The processor's specified instruction format designates the first operand in any instruction as the destination operand for the operation's result.
The high-level statement to be translated is: \$Z = X + Y\$. In this context, X, Y, and Z are memory operands, while R0, R1, and R2 are registers.
To perform the addition, the values of X and Y must first be loaded from memory into registers. Adhering to the destination-as-first-operand rule:
With the values of X and Y now available in registers R0 and R1 respectively, the addition operation can be executed. The result must be stored in a designated destination register, such as R2:
$ADD R2, R0, R1$
The sum is now held in register R2. To complete the statement \$Z = X + Y\$, this result must be written back from register R2 to the memory location Z:
$STORE Z, R2$
Combining these steps results in the complete assembly code sequence that accurately represents the high-level statement \$Z = X + Y\$ under the given architectural constraints:
$LOAD R0, X$
$LOAD R1, Y$
$ADD R2, R0, R1$
$STORE Z, R2$
Consider the following program fragment in assembly language:
mov ax, 0h
mov cx, 0A h
doloop:
dec ax
loop doloop
What is the value of ax and cx registers after the completion of the doloop?
The following language uses mnemonic OP codes
What will be the hexadecimal value in the register ax (32-bit) after executing the following instructions ?
mov al, 15
mov ah, 15
xor al, al
mov cl, 3
shr ax, cl
