COA TUTORIAL-3

• 2.5 consider a computer with word size 32 bits

and following big-endian scheme. A program
reads ASCII characters “Johnson” through
keyboard and stores them at word location
1000 and 1004.find the binary data stored in
the memory locations from 1000 to 1008
• 2.6 repeat the same for little-endian scheme.
 Problem on condition codes
Find the status of Condition codes N,Z, V and C
when the following 2s complement signed
numbers are added (note: 8 bits are used to
store the operands and result)
1) 0XCA and 0X23
2) 0XFF and 0x01
3) 0x78 and 0x 65
4) 0X89 and 0XA2
 TPS activity
Consider the following possibilities for saving the
return address of a subroutine
a)in a processor register
b)in a memory location associated with the call, so
that a different location is used when the
subroutine is called from different places.
c)on a stack
Which of these possibilities supports subroutine
nesting and which supports subroutine recursion
 Solution for TPS activity
• a) neither supports nesting nor recursion.
• b)supports nesting but not recursion.
• c)supports both nesting and recursion.
