2.1. For the following C statement, write the corresponding RISC-V assembly
code. Assume that the C variables f, g, and h, have already been placed in
registers x5, x6, and x7 respectively. Use a minimal number of RISC-V
assembly instructions.
f = g + (h − 5);
2.2. Write a single C statement that corresponds to the two RISC-V assembly
instructions below.
add f, g, h
add f, i, f
2.3. For the following C statement, write the corresponding RISC-V assembly
code. Assume that the variables f, g, h, i, and j are assigned to registers
x5, x6, x7, x28, and x29, respectively. Assume that the base address of the
arrays A and B are in registers x10 and x11, respectively.
B[8] = A[i−j];
2.4. For the RISC-V assembly instructions below, what is the corresponding C
statement? Assume that the variables f, g, h, i, and j are assigned to
registers x5, x6, x7, x28, and x29, respectively. Assume that the base
address of the arrays A and B are in registers x10 and x11, respectively.
slli x30, x5, 3 // x30 = f*8
add x30, x10, x30 // x30 = &A[f]
slli x31, x6, 3 // x31 = g*8
add x31, x11, x31 // x31 = &B[g]
ld x5, 0(x30) // f = A[f]

h, i, and j are assigned to registers x5, x6, x7, x28, and x29, respectively.

and x11, respectively. Assume that the elements of the arrays A and B are
8-byte words:

2.8. Translate the following RISC-V code to C. Assume that the variables f, g,
h, i, and j are assigned to registers x5, x6, x7, x28, and x29, respectively.

opcode (op), source register (rs1), and destination register (rd) fields. For
the I-type instructions, show the value of the immediate field, and for the
R-type instructions, show the value of the second source register (rs2).
For non U- and UJ-type instructions, show the funct3 field, and for R-type
and Stype instructions, also show the funct7 field.
