For this question, I'm not sure if I've done it correctly (no solutions were provided): Consider the program segment:
X = 3
If(X > 0) { Y = X }
Stop
Write the mnemonic assembly code for this program segment, using MARIE's instruction set.
I came up with this:
Load Three
Store X
If, Load X
Subt Three
Skipcond 800
Jump Endif
Then, Load X
Store Y
Endif, Halt
X, DEC ?
Y, DEC ?
Three, DEC 3
Is this solution acceptable? Also, in terms of the number of memory accesses, would that be 8 (I don't think Halt is a memory access)? Would appreciate some guidance.
Coming back to this after a long time, thought I'd share the answer:
Load Three
Store X
If, Load X
Skipcond 800
Jump Endif
Then, Load X
Store Y
Endif, Halt
X, DEC ?
Y, DEC ?
Three, DEC 3
