This assignment is due on Monday 10/9/17 at 11:55 p.m. You can work on this assignment in pairs, in which case you must include both your names in the header of the assembly language program you submit. Both members of a pair must submit a program and answer the quiz.
Problem 1
Assignment
- Write an assembly language program that you will link with the 231Lib library, and that will prompt the user for an integer (positive) number of seconds, which it will then translate in a number of days, hours, minutes and seconds.
- Call your program hw3.asm.
- The format of your output should be similar to the format illustrated in the examples shown below.
- The capture below shows how your program should be behaving.
cs231a@aurora ~/ $ ./hw3 > 1 0 days 0 hours 0 minutes 1 seconds cs231a@aurora ~/ $ ./hw3 > 0 0 days 0 hours 0 minutes 0 seconds cs231a@aurora ~/ $ ./hw3 > 3601 0 days 1 hours 0 minutes 1 seconds cs231a@aurora ~/ $ ./hw3 > 8641 0 days 2 hours 24 minutes 1 seconds cs231a@aurora ~/ $ ./hw3 > 86401 1 days 0 hours 0 minutes 1 seconds cs231a@aurora ~/ $ 864001 864001: command not found cs231a@aurora ~/ $ ./hw3 > 864001 10 days 0 hours 0 minutes 1 seconds cs231a@aurora ~/ $
Additional Information
- Use the DIV instruction
- Do not worry about whether words should be singular or plural. We do not know how to test quantities yet. Make your program output all the words in their plural form.
- Make your program output all the quantities on one line.
- You can use WolfranAlpha to convert seconds to day/hours/minutes/seconds, to test your program. WolframAlpha will correctly understand what to do if you enter something like "864001 seconds" in the search bar.
Submission
- Document your program well, and submit it on Moodle, in the Homework 3, Problem 1 section. Be careful as Moodle gives only 5-minute increments for the closing time, which means you have until 11:55 p.m. on Monday to submit the program.
Problem 2
- Answer the quiz on Moodle, in the Homework 3 Problem 2 section.
