    This document provides instructions for Homework 3 on programming language classification. It asks the student to state advantages of different language types, describe assembly language instructions, write an assembly code opcode and operand, and convert a high-level language statement to assembly code with comments. The student must write an assembly program that loads values from memory addresses, compares them, conditionally increments one value, and halts the program.

    Homework 3 Programming language classification

    1. (a) State two advantages of writing a program in assembly code over writing a program in
    machine code. [2]

    (b) State two advantages of writing a program in a high-level language over writing a
    program assembly code. (Do not repeat any answers from part (a)). [2]

    (c) State two reasons why a programmer might choose to write a program in assembly
    code rather than in a high-level language. [2]

    2. Some of the assembly language instructions supported by a simple microprocessor are:
    Instruction Meaning
    Load the value stored in memory location specified by the
    LDA
    operand into the accumulator
    Store the value in the accumulator in memory location specified
    STO
    by the operand
    Add the value specified in the operand to the value in the
    ADD
    accumulator
    Compare the contents of the accumulator with the contents of
    CMP
    the location specified by the operand
    Jump to the address held in the operand if the accumulator held
    BLT
    the lesser value in the last comparison
    Jump to the address held in the operand if the accumulator held
    BGT
    the greater value in the last comparison
    JMP Jump to the address held in the operand

    STOP Stop

    (a) Write into the table below the opcode and the operand in the following instruction:
    STO 8

    Operand

    Opcode
    [1]
    (b) Write an assembly language program using the instructions given above, equivalent to
    the high-level language statement below. Halt the program after execution of the
    statement(s).
    Assume that the value 1 is held in memory address 9, ‘a’ in address 10 and ‘b’ in
    address 11.
    Comment each line of code to say what it does.
    IF (a >= b) THEN
    b=b+1
    ENDIF [5]
