Thread Rules
1. This is not a "do my homework for me" thread. If you have specific questions, ask, but don't post an assignment or homework problem and expect an exact solution.
2. No recruiting for your cockamamie projects (you won't replace facebook with 3 dudes you found on the internet and $20)
3. If you can't articulate why a language is bad, don't start slinging shit about it. Just remember that nothing is worse than making CSS IE6 compatible.
4. Use [code] tags to format code blocks.

Ok. Then the only thing you had wrong was that x = floor(n/3) and not floor(n/2).

And don't forget the simplification: you have 3^(ceil(2n/3)) combinations

Oh yeah, my bad on the floor typo

thank you

these are relatively easy questions compared to what I expect to find on the homework hehe
but it's good to know my thinking for the simpler stuff is right

ok, here goes
first check on my assembly code

please be gentle, I have no idea what I am doing. I feel like our instruction was really disjointed so I have no idea what I am doing. I am mostly guessing based on example code.

+ Show Spoiler +


1 irmovl $0, %esi #Hold current number of iterations in for loop in esi
2 irmovl $20, %eax #Hold total iterations in eax
3
4 irmovl MyArray, %edx #Hold array start address in edx
5
6
7 ForLoopOne:
8
9 #check if esi is 20
10 subl %esi, %eax #check if subtraction = 0
11 je EndForLoopOne
12
13
14
15 rdchr %ebx #Ask for char input, store it in ebx
16
17 #check if character is newline (10)
18 irmovl $10, %eax #temporarily put 10 (newline value) into eax
19 subl %ebx, %eax #check if subtraction = 0
20 je EndForLoopOne
21
22
23 irmovl $20, %eax #Put 20 back in eax
24 mrmovl %ebx, 0(%edx) #Move ebx into the array at address edx
25
26 irmovl $4, %edi #Put 4 into %edi
27 addl %edi, %edx #Move edx to next array index
28 irmovl $1, %ebx #put 1 into ebx
29 addl %ebx, %esi #Increment esi by increment amount (1)
30 jmp ForLoopOne
31
32
33 EndForLoopOne:
34
35
36 halt
37
38 MyArray: #Declaring array of size 20
39 .long 0
40 .long 0
41 .long 0
42 .long 0
43 .long 0
44 .long 0
45 .long 0
46 .long 0
47 .long 0

50 .long 0
51 .long 0
52 .long 0
53 .long 0
54 .long 0
55 .long 0
56 .long 0
57 .long 0
58 .long 0



Please disregarding the line numbers. They come with how I get my source (since the files are on a remote server). It'd be a pain to remove them.

The idea with this code is that I want to have an array of size 20, and read characters in a for loop and store them into the array. If we are given a newline, the for loop ends. If we fill our array, the loop ends.

There will be more to it, but I wanted to make sure I fixed up any misunderstandings before I continue.

edit: do I need to use rmmovl to assign the value into my array? That's not in our examples anywhere so I was guessing before but I found this online.

edit2: you can't do an add between an integer and a register? It has to be between 2 registers? That is annoying.

edit3: well, it's not looping. it's just asking for input once and going straight through to the halt.

edit4: ok it looks like my problem has to do with me reading characters, not ints

edit5: ok this code is all wrong. I realized that it was making me hit enter each time, and the user should be able to put in an entire string all at once

edit6: okay nevermind, it actually is working. for some reason i was being a dumb idiot and hitting enter after entering the first character, rather than just typing my string in..

This depends entirely on the assembly language. For example MIPS assembly I think supports an add that lets you add a register to a given value directly (though it's been awhile, so I may be fuzzy on that).

But actually, if you think about the underlying hardware, restricting add to two registers makes some sense. Underneath, an add operation is done by a physical bit of hardware on the chip (called an ALU). It can, for example, add two integers - say 32 bit integers for a 32 bit ALU. It has to get those integers from some input signal - in order to add it's gotta get the bits on the wire from somewhere. Generally that somewhere is coming from a register. If you have an immediate add operation that works on a register + constant, you have to physically load that constant somewhere to send the signal to the ALU - so at the end of the day it's going into something like a register anyways.

So basically you either have:

Register1 signal -> ALU
Register2 signal -> ALU -> Add them together

(This is an assembly language that only allows add between two registers)

Or you have

Register1 signal -> ALU
Some constant from your instruction code -> load it into what is essentially a hidden register -> send signal -> ALU -> Add them together

(This is an assembly language that supports add between register + constant)


Certain assembly languages just cut the shit and make you do the register loading yourself instead of having extra hardware to hold your hand there.


Again though, been awhile, so this may not be the clearest/most accurate explanation.

I hate the way the professor insists we write comments

We have to write comments tabbed over on the right side to correspond to our code on our left

but i'd rather write the comments on top since it'd make it easier to write the comments first, and then write code that does what the comment I wrote says

If any of you enjoy coding competitions (although they're really more like algorithms competitions), Google's annual one started a couple of hours ago (code.google.com). The qualification round is the next 24 hours. I always enjoy it, so figured I'd share.

Its just preference. Do what you want. (and if you get graded - do what gets you the best grade).

first assembly program complete. it determines whether or not an input string is a palindrome. feels good for it to work, lol

Assembly is extremely good for learning how everything works under the hood. It is also still required in some jobs(compilers, I think).
Can it be I stayed away too long? Did you miss these rhymes while I was gone?

2nd program was easier than the first

I think im actually finding this easier to do than C, lol
just have to be careful and plan ahead

edit: finished my assignment about a week ahead of time
all 3 programs work, I feel amazing, lol

If you find Assembly easier than C, I think you've got it backwards. :D

https://github.com/ch00kles/ATM/blob/master/src/ca/bcit/comp2613/a00657642/wow/Wow.java

CTRL+F to "bonus question"

Couldn't this be solved by adding up the levels of all the characters, then subtracting that number from the sum of all numbers 1-85 inclusive?

Short example of numbers between 1-5 inclusive:
1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 = 15
{3, 2, 5, 1}
3 + 2 + 5 + 1 = 11
15 - 11 = 4
Therefore 4 is the missing level

I have no idea what this guy was trying in his assignment.

edit: and my solution is O(N) because even though I have two loops they are not a loop within a loop?

You don't need to loop to compute the first sum. It's 85*86/2

for you c experts:
int i = 4;
i++ & printf("%d\n", i);

I compiled with gcc which gave me a different result than expected...
any insight?

What did you think the & does? I think it's trying to do "bitwise and" here.
(Just guessing. Definitely not an expert ).
