Maximum Time: 45 minutes; Total marks: 45

Permitted Resources: Assembly Language Programming Course Notes as published by
Algonquin College (Text may not be shared among two or more students during this test).
Answer all questions on these pages.
1.

Use the .LIS and .MAP file provided on the last 3 pages of this test to answer the following
questions:
[15 marks]
a.
What value is stored in the byte of memory at memory location 0x1023. Express your
answer in hexadecimal.
0x3C
b.

What value is stored in the byte of memory at memory location 0x122A. Express your
answer in hexadecimal.
0x66

c.

If you wanted to stop the program at line 54 in subroutine InStr, which address would
you use to set the breakpoint? (This equivalent to asking at what address would the
machine code for this line be loaded into memory). Express your answer in
hexadecimal.
0x000A + 0x1214 = 0x121E

d.

Assuming that this program is run in Supervisor mode and that the SSP starts out with a
value of 00007EA8, immediately following the JSR at line 45 of the main program
(isdemo.a68):
i.
What would be the value in the SSP? Express your answer in hexadecimal.
0x0000 7EA4
ii.

What would be the value in memory at the addresses given by the SSP? Express
your answer as a long word value, in hexadecimal.
0x0000 103E

where is the source operand?
In memory as part of the instruction
what is the value of the source operand?
0x2020

b.

For the instruction:

movea.w
0x2020,a1
where is the source operand?
In memory at address 0x2020
what is the value of the source operand?
0x1425

c.

For the instruction:

movea.w
a5,a4
where is the source operand?
In register A5
what is the value of the source operand?
0x2018

d.

For the instruction:

movea.w
(a5),a4
where is the source operand?
In memory at the address pointed by A5 (0x0000 2018)
what is the value of the source operand?
0x9BAC
est

e.

For the instruction:

movea.w
-(a5),a4
where is the source operand?
In memory at the address pointed by A5 after being decremented by 2
(0x0000 2018 2 = 0x0000 2016)
what is the value of the source operand?
0x798A

3.
Code a subroutine/function which implements the following C program function:
[15 marks]
long int test2a ( long int num1, long int num2)
{ long int val;
if ( num1 > num2)
{ val = -99;
}
else
{ val = num1 - num2;
}
return val;
}
Assume that the argument values for num1 and num2 have been passed on the stack, and that
the return value is to be in D0.
Upon return from this function no data or address register other than D0 should contain a
different value than it con
