Number Representations: Hexadecimal and BCD
Hexadecimal Format BCD Format
Hexadecimal uses base-16. Digits include 0-9 and A-F. It's Binary Coded Decimal represents each decimal digit with 4
efficient for representing binary data. Each hex digit maps bits. BCD is useful for financial applications. It avoids
to 4 bits. conversion errors.
Understanding these formats is crucial. They are essential for efficient assembly programming.
Basic Arithmetic Operations in Assembly
Addition Subtraction
Use the ADD instruction. Add two registers or memory Employ the SUB instruction. Subtract values stored in
locations. registers.
Multiplication Division
Utilize the MUL command. Multiply two operands. Apply the DIV directive. Divide a number by another.
These instructions form the building blocks. They are used for complex calculations.
Techniques for Computing Series Sums
Looping Recursion Optimization
Use loops to iterate. Add each term Implement recursive functions. Optimize calculations. Reduce
to the sum. Loop until the condition Each call computes part of the sum. redundant operations. Improve
is met. Stop at the base case. code execution time.
Selection Sort
Find the minimum element. Place it at
the beginning. Repeat for the rest.
Bubble Sort
Compare adjacent elements. Swap
if out of order. Repeat until sorted.
Insertion Sort
Insert each element. Place it in the
correct position. Build a sorted
subarray.
Selection of sorting algorithm depends on code complexity, memory, time available, etc.
Sorting in Assembly:
Descending Order
Modified Bubble Sort
Adjust comparison logic. Swap if less than. Ensure
descending order.
Size
Code can be smaller. Optimize memory usage. Benefit embedded systems.
Control
Full control ensures security and optimizes systems.
