Problem #1


  • Ssh to aurora.smith.edu using your 231a-xx account.
  • Go into your account's public_html directory.
  • Create a file with emacs, and call it javascriptTest.html.
  • Store the following code into it:


<html>
   <body>
   
      <script type="text/javascript">
         <!--
            var a = 33;
            var b = 10;
            var c = "Test";
            var i = 0;
            var linebreak = "<br />";

            document.write("sum_i=0^100 = ");
            sum = 0;
            for ( i=0; i<=100; i++ ) {
                sum = sum + i;
            }
            document.write( sum );
            document.write(linebreak);
         //-->
      </script>
      
      Example of Javascript arithmetic.

   </body>
</html>


  • Make the file readable:
chmod a+r javascriptTest

Question
How does Javascript score, in terms of speed of execution, when performing arithmetic, compared to Java and Python, as illustrated in the page on Nasm, Java, Python that we discussed in class?


Submit your answers as a pdf file called hw5_1.pdf. Include supporting data in the file. Submit it as a pdf file in the HW 5 PB 1 section on Moodle.


Problem #2


This question is similar to Problem 1, but you have to measure the speed of java performing arithmetic with BigIntegers, as compared to performing arithmetic with ints.

Question
Is using BigIntegers slower, or faster than using ints, and how much faster or slower? Please include supporting evidence in your answer. Submit a pdf of your answer called hw5_2.pdf in the HW 5 PB 2 section on Moodle.


Problem #3


  • Write a program called hw5_3.asm, and make sure it contains a function called _printHex() that will take the contents of eax in hexadecimal.
  • Make your program use the 231Lib library.
  • The main function of your program should be the following:


_start:       mov   eax, 0x12345678
              call    _printHex
              call    _println

              mov  eax, 0xABCDEF00
              call    _printHex
              call    _println

              mov  eax, 0x1234ABCD
              call    _printHex
              call    _println

exit:         mov  eax, 1
             mov  ebx, 0
             int   0x80
