Question

Translate the following instructions from English into the machine language described in Appendix C

JUMP to the instruction at memory location 24 if the contents of register 0 equals the value in register A.

Answer 1

To translate the English instructions into machine language, we need to convert them into binary representation. If the contents of register 0 equals the value in register A, the CJUMP instruction at memory location 24 is executed.

Step-by-step explanation:

To translate the given instructions into machine language, we need to convert the English instructions into the binary representation of the machine language. Assuming the memory location of the instruction at memory location 24 is JMP (jump), and the comparison of the contents of register 0 with the value in register A is stored as CMP (compare) instruction in memory location 25, the translated machine language instructions would be:

1. CMP R0, RA: Compares the contents of register 0 with the value in register A.
2. CJUMP 24: Jumps to the instruction at memory location 24 if the comparison result is true (if the contents of register 0 equals the value in register A).
