 Exercises(1)
1. Give assembly language instruction for each of the following actions.
a) Declare an integer array named P1 of 50 elements.
b) Define character string P2 whose value is ‘Alex. Uni.’
c) Define an integer P3 whose value is 100.
d) Increase the value of the accumulator by the contents of the object whose address is stored in
P4.

 Exercises(2)(c)
c. If Y+7 ≤ Z
then begin E:=10Z3-3Z+6; Z:=Z+1; end
else begin E:= 5(Y-Z); Z:=Z-1; end

16
 Solution
You can use mathematical manipulations for this like:
Z(10Z2-3)+6 for the first expression of E
or using general purpose registers to store intermediate values. I will go
for the first approach but you are free to go for anyone.
