Lecture C7: Assembly programming
Response to ‘Muddiest Part of the Lecture Cards’
(58 respondents, out of 74students)
1) The Assembly commands? (10 students)
We can and will review the commands during recitation hours. Please read through the following
“Assembly language handout”.
2) I don’t understand how to keep all number systems straight. It would help if we had one page about
what they each are & how you convert to and from them? (1 student)
You now have one page and more, take a look at the following document “number representation”.
3) The Boolean operations: NOT, AND, OR, XOR? (7 students) Boolean expressions can be formed much like arithmetic operations, but they contain boolean values (either True/1 or False/0), boolean variables (which can be assigned the values True/1 or False/0) and boolean operations.
We use truth tables to define the boolean/logic operations:
The NOT operation is sometimes known as the inverse operation since it simply reverses the state of all bits. A 0 becomes a 1, and a 1 becomes a 0.
A
NOT A 0 1 1 0
Example: if A = NOT B, then…
