I am having trouble following assembly language can someone answer
these questions?


  1. Write a program that clears the screen, locates the cursor near
the middle of the screen, prompts the user for two integers, adds the
integers, and displays their sum. You will need to use the ClrScr,
Gotoxy, WriteString, Crlf, and ReadInt procedures from the Irvine32
library.

   2. Using the ArrayScan program in Section 6.3.4.2 as a model,
implement the search using the LOOPZ instruction.

Seriously?  Is this a joke (troll), or is someone REALLY stupid enough to 
put a homework assignment, verbatim, on here in search of someone to write 
it for him?

Hold on while I look up section 6.3.4.2...

Please post the piece of code that you are having trouble with.  Someone 
will be happy to help you if you have a specific question.

Yes, these kinds of posts appear often in other programming forums
around the 'net.  Just look at 'daniweb' or 'programmersheaven' and
the like.  I see it as a "good thing"(tm) that they also appear
occasionally in Usenet groups.  It means that new students are at
least somewhat aware of the value of Usenet.

First, I can see what you wrote. Second what is the use of this forum.
I am looking for someone that knows this language like a second
language. So obviously its not you guys. I know this is a fairly easy
program to write, It's just not fairly easy to me. Maybe I'll try and
post what I have.

The solution is for the teachers change their homework requests to have
constraints unknown or inaccessible to those outside the class.  So far,
this is one of the better ones I've seen.  It's got at least four things I'd
consider to be unknowns.

I have mixed feelings when this happens.  Learning how to do it for yourself
is the entire point of being a student.  I know from first hand experience
that they won't learn anything if they don't do it themselves.  If you have
no interest, desire, or motivation, because it's boring, too easy, too
complex, bad teacher, or you're distracted because you're in love, have
problems at home/roomates/work, or involved in too many time consuming
activities like sports, fraternities, or work, you just won't do well.  It's
as simple as that.  You have to have a stable, distraction free, quiet
environment with plenty of extra available time, and a strong motivation and
focus.

However, I still have strong desire to help struggling students.  Sometimes
a little help from others is all they need for them to figure things out on
their own.  I found that out by helping a few people who weren't the best of
students.  When I post a solution, I try give them something that is so far
beyond what they are actually capable of a that point in time, that 1) the
teacher is clearly suspicious, or 2) the teacher will be getting the same
solution from dozens of students for the next ten years... unless the
teacher adapts.  They can make things more difficult for others to help, or
they can warn students.  "We're aware of this solution on the Internet.
Don't turn that in to us.  If you do, it's an F-.  If you turn in a blank
paper, D+."  Even the worst student will take a D+ over an F-.

This is wrong approach. You have to describe in detail those functions,
and programs and ask what you don;t know exactly.
In this form for example, me have to look into Irvine32 library
and there is no ArrayScan program in Section 6.3.4.2 near me,
nor I know what it is.

So you have to at least try to describe problem you have, with
what you have, and where you are stuck.

Often times, understanding the problem is half the solution.

That sounds like it would get you better help. We're not going to do 
your homework for you - if we did, it would continue to be "not fairly 
easy to me", and that would be unfair!!! :)

Your first program sounds like it's mostly a bunch of calls to Kip 
Irvine's library routines (which I'm not familiar with). In between 
calls, you'll have to use the very complicated "add" instruction. You 
can probably figure that out, but if you have trouble, show us what 
you're doing, what you expect (the sum, presumably...), and what happens 
instead. I don't see, in the list of procedures from Irvine's library, a 
  "PrintInt". If you're expected to display the sum using "WriteString", 
you'll need to convert the number to a string first. That may be the 
point of this assignment. More likely, "PrintInt" (I assume there is 
one) just got left off the list.

The second one is quite a mystery without the "model" code. I'd have 
guessed "repnz cmpsd", but that's just speculation. Do you understand 
how "loopz" works, alright? Or is that your question?

Seriously, post some code! We won't laugh! Well, maybe we will... but 
you'll still get better help!

Frank

It is a forum for sharing information and answering technical questions
about assembly language programming for x86-class processors.

The basic problem with your post is that you did not provide any context.
It looked like you posted homework questions and asked that we answer them
for you, without any work on your part.  That is simply unethical.

After a few minutes of web searching, I can see that you are trying to
solve exercises from Kip Irvine's book, "Assembly Language for Intel-Based
Computers".  Are you doing this for a college class, or are you learning on
your own?

>I am looking for someone that knows this language like a second

If you have been following through the book, it shouldn't be hard.  Indeed,
the "getting started" tutorial solves more than half the problem for you:
    http://kipirvine.com/asm/gettingStarted/index.htm

>Maybe I'll try and post what I have.

That is EXACTLY the right approach.  Even if it IS homework, you'll find
people willing to help you as long as you have made a good stab at solving
things yourself.

WHOEVER CAN ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS IS THE KING OF PROGRAMMING :)


1.	Write a program that clears the screen, locates the cursor near the
middle of the screen, prompts the user for two integers, adds the
integers, and displays their sum. You will need to use the ClrScr,
Gotoxy, WriteString, Crlf, and ReadInt procedures from the Irvine32
library.
2.	Using the ArrayScan program in Section 6.3.4.2 as a model,
implement the search using the LOOPZ instruction.
3.	Write a procedure named PackedToAsc that converts a 4-byte packed
decimal number to a string of ASCII decimal digits. Pass the packed
number to the procedure in EAX, and pass a pointer to a buffer that
will hold the ASCII digits. Write a short test program that
demonstrates several conversions and displays the converted numbers on
the screen.
4.	Write a recursive implementation of Euclid's algorithm for finding
the greatest common divisor (GCD) of two integers. Note: we will only
test this procedure with nonnegative integers. Descriptions of this
algorithm are available on the web.
5.	Write a procedure named Str_concat that concatenates a source
string to the end of a target string. Sufficient space must be
available in the target string before this procedure is called. Pass
pointers to the source and target strings.
6.	Create a macro named mMult32 that multiplies two unsigned 32-bit
memory operands and produces a 32-bit product.
7.	For this assignment you must build a program that should prompt the
user for the radius of a circle. It should calculate and display the
circle=92s area. To create this program use the ReadFloat and WriteFloat
procedures from your textbook=92s library. The FLDPI instruction is used
to load PI onto the register stack: area =3D PI * radius^2.

There is no need to shout here, Atomicpolymorhism.

If you _had the time_ to do it?  That sounds like you could use some 
tutoring in time management rather than x86 programming...

The "guys" here are experienced, knowledgeable and eager to help 
people who are having problems with the code they have written and 
which is not working as expected.  We have yet to see any of your code 
on which we can comment or "point in the right direction".

Please post the code that you have written so far -- you will then 
likely receive constructive comments on how to fix/improve that code.  
What you will _not_ receive here is the answer to your assignments.

Are you looking to learn how to drive, or do you just want a 
chauffeur?

If you think we didn't understand your post because you didn't use all
caps, you're wrong. We aren't that short-sighted to be helped with
capitalization, thank you.

If you don't have time, it's your problem. You shouldn't have signed
up for this course in the first place. Now that you did, face the
consequences.

Indeed, find somebody to teach you assembly language programming or...
DIY. There are plenty of resources online that can help you in that,
except not every article/book on the subject will start out from the
very very basics behind it (e.g. boolean logic, digital circuits and
electrodynamics), many assume some knowledge of programming in another
language.

If you can barely program at all in any language, this assignment is
gonna be tough if not impossible to complete on time. If this is the
case, don't waste the time, yours and ours. Even if somebody does this
assignment for you, you'll still fail the exams where you will be
unable to cheat and your gains will be zero anyway.

Dear Atomicpolymorhism,

If I correctly interpret the above statement of yours, you have no
knowledge of any computer programming language, and no programming
experience whatsoever.

If this is the case, the best guidance I can offer you is to purchase
a beginner book for some high level language such as BASIC and train
yourself step by step into the programming mind set.  Don't bother
with assembler as yet, since it is too premature for you while you
have no programming experience.

Remember:  Inch by inch it is a cinch. Yard by yard is very hard.
