ASSIGNMENT QUESTION
Write 32-bit assembly code for only ONE program/ module to implement any arithmetic
operation. (30 % weightage)
DUE: W12 (Thursday) by 5pm
INSTRUCTIONS:
1) Student suggest ONE program/ module which include arithmetic/ mathematical operation.

2) Students to implement arithmetic/mathematical operations into this 32-bit assembly language.

3) Students are advised to use Microsoft Visual Studio and Irvine library to develop your program.

4) Please briefly comment your ASM code.

5) Example Program/ Module (must include arithmetic computation):

Example: A calculator module with arithmetic/ logic functions
Example: Payment module for Restaurant
Example: FD interest module for Banking
Example: CGPA calculation module for University
Example: Ticketing module for Movies
Others (Choose ONE only)

6) Please include ALL the following features in your ONE single program/module:
(1) Provide a way for users to enter input.
(2) Verify user input with constructive guides. (E.g.: invalid. Enter only integers 0-9)
(3) Perform at least 3 arithmetic/ logic computation. (E.g. ADD SUB MUL DIV NEG etc.)
(4) Perform 2 decimal point calculation (in any one of your calculations).

7) Submit ONLY ONE (1) module (with the above features). No marks awarded for extra modules.

8) Submit (softcopy) (to respective practical class tutor Google Classroom):
