Write out random letters using random range. Using the commands:

- Mov eax, 26
- Call random range (in the Irvine library)
- An array made up of all the letters in the alphabet
- Write out a 4 x 4 matrix that prints out 16 random letters taken from an alphabet matrix you created.

Final answer:

To write out random letters using the random range command, initialize the random number generator, call the random range function, create an array of letters, and print out a 4x4 matrix of random letters.

Step-by-step explanation:

To write out random letters using the random range command, you can follow these steps:

  1. First, you will need to initialize the random number generator by loading the value 26 into the EAX register using the MOV command.
  2. Next, you can call the random range function from the Irvine library to generate a random number between 0 and 25, which corresponds to the indices of the array containing all the letters of the alphabet.
  3. Then, you can create an array of all the letters in the alphabet, and access a random letter from the array based on the generated random number.
  4. Finally, you can construct a 4x4 matrix and print out 16 random letters from the alphabet matrix.

Here's an example of how the code might look like in assembly language:

MOV EAX, 26
CALL random_range
; Assume the array of letters is stored at some memory location ALPHABET
MOV ECX, 16

; Print out the 4x4 matrix
LEA EBX, ALPHABET
MOV EDX, 0

.LOOP:
CALL random_range
MOVZX ESI, AX
ADD EBX, ESI
MOV AX, [EBX]
MOV [MATRIX + EDX], AX
ADD EDX, 2
LOOP .LOOP
