Problem #1

Th program below computes the sum of all the numbers between 0 and 10. It is the final version of the program we developed in class on Thursday 10/11/12.

Note that I have added comments to the program. This helps make a very cryptic program easier to understand. In assembly language we can place comments in the code by preceding them with semicolons. The words following a semicolons are ignored by the translator when it takes the assembly-language program and puts the mnemonics in memory. If the comments bother you, you can simply put your cursor on each semicolon and remove the text on the right hand-side of it.

; Sum100 program
; D. Thiebaut
; Computes the sum of all the numbers between 0 and 10
; and stores the result in variable sum.
;
@0
jmp start
;
; data section with 2 variables
;
counter: 10
sum: 0

;
; code section
; 
start:

; sum <- counter
	lod	counter
	sto	sum

; counter <- counter - 1
loop:
	lod counter
	dec
	sto	counter

; if counter is 0, then jump out of loop
	jmz done

; sum <- sum + counter
	lod sum
	add counter
	sto sum

; go back to compute new sum
	jmp	 loop

; if we reach this point, then we are done with
; the loop and sum should contain the result
done: hlt

Just to verify that the program works, copy/paste its code into the simulator (click here to get the applets). Run the program by selecting the fastest speed , and then clicking on Run.
