Refer to the on-line text for information and examples of the addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division instructions. 

Data Declarations:
Use the data declarations in the provided main. Note, the main includes some of the calculations already done as examples.


Submission:
    • All source files must assemble and execute on Ubuntu with yasm.

    • Submit source files
        ◦ Submit a copy of the program source file via the on-line submission

    • Once you submit, the system will score the project and provide feedback.
        ◦ If you do not get full score, you can (and should) correct and resubmit.
        ◦ You can re-submit an unlimited number of times before the due date/time.

    • Late submissions will be accepted for a period of 24 hours after the due date/time for any given assignment. Late submissions will be subject to a ~2% reduction in points per an hour late. If you submit 1 minute - 1 hour late -2%, 1-2 hours late -4%, … , 23-24 hours late -50%. This means after 24 hours late submissions will receive an automatic 0.


Program Header Block
All source files must include your name, section number, assignment, NSHE number, and program description. The required format is as follows:

    • Name: <your name>
    • NSHE ID: <your id>
    • Section: <section>
    • Assignment: <assignment number>
    • Description: <short description of program goes here>

Failure to include your name in this format will result in a loss of up to 5%.
Scoring Rubric
Scoring will include functionality, code quality, and documentation. Below is a summary of the scoring rubric for this assignment.

Criteria
Weight
Summary
Assemble
-
Failure to assemble will result in a score


of 0.



Program Header
5%
Must include header block in the


required format (see above).



General Comments
10%
Must include an appropriate level of


program documentation.



Program Functionality
85%
Program must meet the functional
(and on-time)

requirements as outlined in the


assignment. Must be submitted on time


for full score.



Debugger Commands
You will need to execute the code and display the variables in the same manner as previous assignments.
The command to examine memory is as follows:

x/<n><f><u> &<variable>
Examine memory location <variable>
<n>
number of locations to display, 1 is default.
<f>
format:
d – decimal


x – hex


u – unsigned


c – character


s – string


f – floating point
<u>
unit size:
b – byte (8-bits)


h – halfword (16-bits)
w – word (32-bits)
g – giant (64-bits)

For example, some of the applicable memory examine commands for various data types are as follows:

Operation
Command
Display signed decimal byte values.
x/db &bNum1
Display unsigned decimal byte values.
x/ub &bNum1
Display signed decimal word values.
x/dh &wNum1
Display unsigned decimal word values.
x/uh &wNum1
Display hex word values.
x/xh &wNum1
Display signed decimal double-word values.
x/dw &wNum1
Display unsigned decimal double-word values.
x/uw &wNum1
Display hex double-word values.
x/xw &wNum1
Display signed decimal double-word values.
x/dg &wNum1
Display unsigned decimal double-word values.
x/ug &wNum1
Display hex quadword values.
x/xg &wNum1

You may use the provided “a3in.txt” to display the variables within the debugger. However, for future assignments you will need to select the correct command to display the data based on the defined size and any guidance from the assignment. Refer to the text for additional information.
