Topics: Logical instructions, Logic Design, Signed Numbers Lab/Hw Reading
  • Mon/Wed
  • Logical instructions
  • Logic design: A 2-bit adder (this won't be on the midterm exam)
  • Signed numbers
  • Signed magnitude
  • 1's Complement

  • The Loop instruction
  • Indirect Addressing Modes
  • Working with arrays
  • slides (pdf)
  • Miderm exams will be returned. The grading was done as follows: 11 problems worth 10 points each were graded and generated a number between 0 and 110, which was translated into a letter grade. This letter grade was then transformed into another number using Moodle's number-letter translation table. This number is the one entered in Moodle. (Solutions to Midterm Problems)
  • Friday:
  • No homework this week


 

Week 9 Mar 27, 29, 31
