Question # 2. Short Programming Problems (25 points)

a. Write a sequence of two instructions that copies bits 0-5 from AL to bits 0-5 in BL. Bits 6-7 in BL should be
cleared, and AL should be unchanged. (5pts)







b. Write a sequence of two instructions that copies the integer in bits 4-7 from the AL register into bits 0-3 of the BL
register. The upper 4 bits of AL will be cleared, as will the upper 4 bits of BL. . (5pts)

Question # 5. Programming (10 points) --- use the back of the page if needed ----

Using the following table as a guide, write a program that asks the user to enter an integer test score between 0 and 100.
The program should display the appropriate letter grade:

Score Range Letter Grade
90 to 100 A
80 to 89 B
70 to 79 C
60 to 69 D
0 to 59 F

Hint: You may use the pseudo .IF, .ELSEIF,.ELSE and .ENDIF directives.

GOOD LUCK
