Q.4 Explain the following addressing modes of instruction of x86 family of processors with two examples of each:

a) Register Indirect Addressing Mode

                   example simmediate
                     immediate 2

b) Immediate Addressing Mode

ASSIGNMENT No. 2

Total Marks: 100 Pass Marks: 50

All questions carry equal marks

Q.1 Explain the usage of registers in MUL and DIV instructions for 8-bit and 16-bit multiplication with a register (say cl/c) is provided as the only operand?

Q.2 Write a sequence of instructions to set and clear the following FLAGS:

i) Zero Flag ii) Sign Flag

iii) Overflow Flag iv) Carry Flag

Q.3 Explain the difference between LOOP and LOOPE instruction with the help of a program.

Q.4 Will the following code jump to the label named Target (Yes / No)? Explain reason in each.

mov ax, 8109h

camp ax, 26h

Jg Target

add ax, 8000h

Target:

Ans:

No, because the jg is used with signed value and

(8109h is negative, and 26h is positive.)

Q.5 Write a program to sequentially search the array LIST1 of 20 elements of WORD type. Return Index number (count 0 as first index) if search is successful otherwise display a message indicating the absence of a key.
