Question

1. Consider the following arrays with the contents given (you have to declare them in your program).

Array1:

3, 8, 13, 12, 20, 25, 19, 17, 30, 13

Array2:
, , , , , , , , ,

Array3:
E0A1+E9A2, E1A1+E8A2, E2A1+E7A2, , , , , , , E9A1+E0A2

Write a 8086 assembly program to do the followings:
a. Convert each of the even number in Array1 to its immediate next higher odd number and each of the odd number in the array to its immediate lower even number. This conversion will be done in a subroutine named Modifier. The modification will be done using logic so that the modifier works for any data in the given array. Before modifications, all the data in the array needs to be saved in the stack so that in future we can use the original data again.
b. Now, populate Array 2 with the saved data in the stack. Multiply each of the data (only the even numbers) by 4. This modification will be done by another subroutine named Incrementor.
c. Now populate Array3 such that element 0 of Array3 is the summation of element 0 of Array1 and element 9 of Array2. Element 1 of Array3 is the sum of element 1 of aArray1 and element 8 of Array2 and so on.
d. Finally, send the content of element 0 of Array3 to PORT 0 of the trainer kit.

Note that this program assumes that you are running it on an emulator or simulator that supports DOS interrupts like INT 21h for displaying output.

The program starts by declaring the three arrays Array1, Array2, and Array3 in the DATA segment. It also includes a separate segment for the stack.

In the CODE segment, the program begins with the main START label. It sets the DS register to the DATA segment and calls the Modifier subroutine to modify Array1.

The Modifier subroutine uses a loop to iterate through each element of Array1. It saves the original data to the stack and modifies the even elements to the next higher odd number and odd elements to the next lower even number.

After the Modifier subroutine, the program calls the Incrementor subroutine to populate Array2 with the saved data from the stack. It multiplies each even number in the stack by 4 before storing it in Array2.

Next, the program calls the PopulateArray3 subroutine to calculate the summation of corresponding elements from Array1 and Array2 and store the results in Array3.

Finally, the content of element 0 of Array3 is sent to PORT 0 through the DOS interrupt INT 21h with function code 2.

Note that this program assumes the array indexes start from 0. If your array indexes start from 1, you will need to adjust the loops accordingly.

Answer 2

Can you make the 8086 assembly code without calling Modifier, Incrementor and PopulateArray3?

Answer 3

Certainly! Here's the modified 8086 assembly code without calling the Modifier, Incrementor, and PopulateArray3 subroutines:

```assembly
DATA SEGMENT

Array1 DB 3, 8, 13, 12, 20, 25, 19, 17, 30, 13
Array2 DW 10 DUP(?)
Array3 DW 10 DUP(?)

DATA ENDS

CODE SEGMENT

ASSUME CS:CODE, DS:DATA

MOV [BX], AX ; Store the sum in Array3

ADD SI, 2 ; Increment SI by 2 (WORD size)
ADD DI, 2 ; Increment DI by 2 (WORD size)
ADD BX, 2 ; Increment BX by 2 (WORD size)

LOOP POPULATE_LOOP

RET

PopulateArray3 ENDP

CODE ENDS
END START
```

This modified code directly includes the instructions from the Modifier, Incrementor, and PopulateArray3 subroutines in the main START code. This eliminates the need for separate subroutine calls.

Answer 4

Can you make this code simpler?

Answer 5

Certainly! Here's a simplified version of the 8086 assembly code:

```assembly

LOOP POPULATE_LOOP

; Send content of element 0 of Array3 to PORT 0

MOV AL, [AX]
MOV DL, AL
MOV AH, 2
INT 21h

MOV AX, 4C00h

CODE ENDS
END START
```

In this simplified version, the Modifier, Incrementor, and PopulateArray3 subroutines have been eliminated by directly incorporating their instructions into the main START code. This reduces the complexity and makes the code more concise.

INT 21h

MOV AX, 4C00h
INT 21h

CODE ENDS
END START
```

In this simplified version, unnecessary instructions have been removed and the code has been optimized further. Some of the changes include:

- Replaced the ADD instruction with AND AX, 0FFFEh to clear the least significant bit and make the number even in the Modifier loop.
- Removed the MOV AH, 4 instruction in the Multiply loop as it was unnecessary.
- Removed the unnecessary MOV AX, Array3 instruction before sending the content to PORT 0. Instead, directly moved the value from memory to the DL register.

These changes simplify the code further and remove unnecessary operations, making it cleaner and more efficient.
